Common Questions About Running a December 5K in Georgia

When in December are most 5K races held?

The busiest weekend in Georgia is December 12 and December 13, with 28 of them, 26 of those on Saturday, December 12. Another 9 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.

What is a good 5K time?

Across the 32 of these December 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 36:05, and the median winning time was 18:52. So anything under 36:05 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 December 5K field?

The median one finished 119 runners, across the 32 of these December 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 1:04:31.

Are there trail 5K races in Georgia in December?

Yes, one race around Georgia gets you off the pavement: 1 is a trail race.
