By the numbers
The February 5K races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
The busiest weekend in Missouri is February 13 and February 14, with 7 5K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, February 13 with 7. Every one of them is on a Saturday or a Sunday.
As early as you can. 5 of these February 5K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 11 are open for entry right now. Another 1 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $20 up to $50. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.
Across the 7 of these February 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 37:27, and the median winning time was 18:09. So anything under 37:27 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 304 runners, across the 7 of these February 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 1:04:55.
Yes, one race around Missouri gets you off the pavement: 1 is a trail race. Surfaces are not always published, so it is worth checking a specific race before you register.
January and March sit either side of February, which is where most people look next when a date does not fit.
