Common Questions About Running an August 5K in Georgia
When should I sign up for an August 5K?
As early as you can. 4 of these August 5K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 3 are open for entry right now. Another 2 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.
How much does an August 5K cost to enter?
The typical entry is $25, with paid entries running from $22 up to $30. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.
What is a good 5K time?
Across the 5 of these August 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 35:50, and the median winning time was 19:49. So anything under 35:50 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 5K field?
The median one finished 122 runners, across the 5 of these August 5K 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 1:01:54.
5K Races in Other Months
July and September sit either side of August, which is where most people look next when a date does not fit.
