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 Nov 12, 2026.

Common Questions About Running an August 10K in Kentucky
What is a good 10K time?
Across the 3 of these August 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 1:15:04, and the median winning time was 55:25. So anything under 1:15:04 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.
How big is a typical August 10K field?
The median one finished 15 runners, across the 3 of these August 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 1:44:43.
