Past race snapshot
What the field usually feels like
A plain-English read from past public results. It is helpful context, not a prediction.
Crowd
Small field
25 other finishers in 2022. A quieter race where the pack may spread out more quickly.
Typical finish
1:32:22
Think middle-of-the-pack, using chip time when available.
Competitive feel
Lively front
The faster end moves well, but the race still has room for everyday runners. Front-group read: 1:07:29.
People mix
Mixed field
Gender mix needs more complete finish rows before we summarize it.
Quick read
For the other in 2022, this looks like a small field: 25 finishers are represented here. A middle-of-the-pack finish was around 1:32:22. The quicker front of the field averaged about 1:07:29. Use it as a feel check, not a promise about race day.
