14 10K races in November 2026
What the field actually runs
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 22, 2026.
When in November
10K races do not spread evenly across November. The busiest weekend is October 31 and November 1, with 4 of them. Another 2 fall on a weekday.
By the numbers
The November 10K races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
The busiest weekend in Illinois is October 31 and November 1, with 4 10K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Sunday, November 1 with 4. Another 2 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.
As early as you can. 4 of these November 10K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 14 are open for entry right now.
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $12.99 up to $55, 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 6 of these November 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 59:53, and the median winning time was 37:26. So anything under 59:53 puts you in the faster half of a typical field. That is the middle of these RunSignup fields, walkers and charity entrants included, not a national average.
The median one finished 85 runners, across the 6 of these November 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 1:36:20.
Yes, one race around Illinois gets you off the pavement: 1 is a trail race. Surfaces are not always published, so it is worth checking a specific race before you register.
October and December sit either side of November, which is where most people look next when a date does not fit.
