How fast is it?

Slower than most Indiana 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 32:09, against 28:30 in a typical Indiana 5K, so times here run 13 percent slower.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Typical race-day weather

Around November 26 the day usually runs from 31°F at dawn to 48°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 28% of days. Cold snaps dip to 20°F and hot years reach 56°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
