How much does an April 10K cost to enter?

What is a good 10K time?

Across the 7 of these April 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 1:04:47, and the median winning time was 37:15. So anything under 1:04:47 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 April 10K field?

The median one finished 111 runners, across the 7 of these April 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 1:48:55.
