Common Questions About Running an April 5K in Kansas
What is a good 5K time?
Across the 6 of these April 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 42:18, and the median winning time was 22:22. So anything under 42:18 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 April 5K field?
The median one finished 158 runners, across the 6 of these April 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 1:11:47.
