Slower than most Florida 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 31:19, against 29:59 in a typical Florida 5K, so times here run 4 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.
Around November 26 the day usually runs from 58°F at dawn to 74°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 12% of days. Cold snaps dip to 48°F and hot years reach 80°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.
