Common Questions About Running a January 5K in Maryland

What is a good 5K time?

Across the 5 of these January 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 36:59, and the median winning time was 18:57. So anything under 36:59 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 January 5K field?

The median one finished 122 runners, across the 5 of these January 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 58:53.
