Common Questions About Running a March 10K in North Carolina

When in March are most 10K races held?

The busiest weekend in North Carolina is March 6 and March 7, with 3 10K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, March 6 with 2. 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. 6 of these March 10K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 5 are open for entry right now. Another 3 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 $20 up to $45. 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 6 of these March 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 59:47, and the median winning time was 34:45. So anything under 59:47 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 March 10K field?

The median one finished 98 runners, across the 6 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 2:02:01.

Are there trail 10K races in North Carolina in March?

Yes, one race around North Carolina 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.
