Is March a good month for a 10K?

Common Questions About Running a March 10K
When in March are most 10K races held?
The busiest weekend is March 20 and March 21, with 83 10K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, March 20 with 74. Another 1 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.
When should I sign up for a March 10K?
As early as you can. 84 of these March 10K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 235 are open for entry right now. Another 17 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.
How much does a March 10K cost to enter?
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $1 up to $107. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.
What is a good 10K time?
Across the 106 of these March 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 1:04:37, and the median winning time was 39:48. So anything under 1:04:37 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 March 10K field?
The median one finished 83 runners, across the 106 of these March 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 1:47:15.
Which states have the most March 10K races?
Florida has 38, California has 36, Texas has 35, Georgia has 12, Tennessee has 12. If you are willing to travel, those are the states where a March weekend gives you the most to choose from.
Are there trail 10K races in March?
Yes, 9 races around the United States get you off the pavement: 6 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.
10K Races in Other Months
February and April sit either side of March, which is where most people look next when a date does not fit.
