As early as you can. 85 of these February 10K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 244 are open for entry right now. Another 14 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.
How much does a February 10K cost to enter?
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $5 up to $500, and 1 that are free to enter. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.

Across the 84 of these February 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 1:04:30, and the median winning time was 39:52.

How big is a typical February 10K field?
The median one finished 60 runners, across the 84 of these February 10K races with published results from past editions. Most are far smaller than the big-city events people picture, which means less crowding at the start and a friendlier field, with a last recorded finisher at 1:41:01.
Which states have the most February 10K races?
California has 41, Texas has 40, Florida has 38, Georgia has 14, Missouri has 10. If you are willing to travel, those are the states where a February weekend gives you the most to choose from.
Are there trail 10K races in February?
Yes, 8 races around the United States get you off the pavement: 5 are trail races, and 3 mix road and trail. Surfaces are not always published, so it is worth checking a specific race before you register.
