Slower than most California 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 46:43, against 30:43 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 52 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 April 10 the day usually runs from 48°F at dawn to 68°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 15% of days. Cold snaps dip to 39°F and hot years reach 76°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.
