Every 5K in Kentucky in October 2027, all 5 of them, sorted by date. Dates, entry fees, finish-time stats from past results, and start-line maps.
What the field actually runs
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
When in October
5K races are not spread evenly across October. Here is how the calendar actually falls, weekend by weekend, which is the part worth knowing before you book a trip or plan a taper around one.
By the numbers
The largest field of any October 5K in Kentucky, from the most recent published results.
Across the 4 of these October 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 38:33, and the median winning time was 20:40. So anything under 38:33 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.
The median one finished 222 runners, across the 4 of these October 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 1:06:08.
Yes, one race around Kentucky gets you off the pavement: 1 is a trail race.
