How fast is it?

Slower than most North Carolina 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 33:47, against 28:39 in a typical North Carolina 5K, so times here run 18 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.
