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 Sep 22, 2026.

The September 5K races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.

The busiest weekend in Oklahoma is September 26 and September 27, with 15 5K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, September 26 with 13. Every one of them is on a Saturday or a Sunday.
When should I sign up for a September 5K?
As early as you can. 1 of these September 5K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 14 are open for entry right now. Another 1 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.
How much does a September 5K cost to enter?
The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $10 up to $55, and 1 that are free to enter. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.
What is a good 5K time?
Across the 6 of these September 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 34:07, and the median winning time was 17:52. So anything under 34:07 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 September 5K field?
The median one finished 112 runners, across the 6 of these September 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 1:03:41.
