Common Questions About Running a September 5K in Georgia

When in September are most 5K races held?

The busiest weekend in Georgia is September 26 and September 27, with 32 5K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, September 26 with 27. Another 3 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.

When should I sign up for a September 5K?

As early as you can. 7 of these September 5K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 30 are open for entry right now. Another 3 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.

How much does a September 5K cost to enter?

The typical entry is $35, with paid entries running from $10 up to $45, and 1 that are free to enter. 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 18 of these September 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 37:52, and the median winning time was 20:26. So anything under 37:52 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 September 5K field?

The median one finished 90 runners, across the 18 of these September 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 1:04:26.
