Common Questions About Running a January 10K in Tennessee
When should I sign up for a January 10K?
As early as you can. 2 of these January 10K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 10 are open for entry right now.
How much does a January 10K cost to enter?
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $20 up to $48. 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 5 of these January 10K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 1:02:45, and the median winning time was 40:37. So anything under 1:02:45 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 January 10K field?
The median one finished 50 runners, across the 5 of these January 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 1:35:44.
