Common Questions About Running an April 5K in Tennessee

When in April are most 5K races held?

The busiest weekend in Tennessee is April 10 and April 11, with 7 5K races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, April 10 with 6. Another 1 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.

When should I sign up for an April 5K?

As early as you can. 4 of these April 5K races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 13 are open for entry right now. Another 4 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.

How much does an April 5K cost to enter?

The typical entry is $30, with paid entries running from $22 up to $40. 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 10 of these April 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 41:27, and the median winning time was 19:49. So anything under 41:27 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.

How big is a typical April 5K field?

The median one finished 106 runners, across the 10 of these April 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 1:08:55.
