Slower than most Missouri 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2024 5K field finished under 31:18, against 29:53 in a typical Missouri 5K, so times here run 5 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 14 the day usually runs from 43°F at dawn to 61°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 12% of days. Cold snaps dip to 25°F and hot years reach 71°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.
