How fast is it?
Slower than most Texas 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 32:09, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here run 7 percent slower.
- 10K: About average for Texas 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2024 10K field finished under 55:55, against 57:11 in a typical Texas 10K, so times here are about average.
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.
