Across the 15 of these July 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 34:19, and the median winning time was 17:45.

How big is a typical July 5K field?
The median one finished 145 runners, across the 15 of these July 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 1:05:20.
