How fast is it?

Faster than most South Carolina 10Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 51:57, against 54:45 in a typical South Carolina 10K, so times here run 5 percent faster.

  • 5K: About average for South Carolina 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:13, against 28:28 in a typical South Carolina 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 17 the day usually runs from 52°F at dawn to 75°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 16% of days. Cold snaps dip to 42°F and hot years reach 83°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.
