How fast is it?
About average for Florida 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:41, against 29:59 in a typical Florida 5K, 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around April 3 the day usually runs from 66°F at dawn to 83°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 28% of days. Cold snaps dip to 58°F and hot years reach 89°F.
