What the field actually runs

By the numbers
The April 5K races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
The busiest weekend in Texas is April 10 and April 11, with 29 of them, 23 of those on Saturday, April 10. One more falls on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for it.
Across the 43 of these April 5K races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 37:59, and the median winning time was 18:55. So anything under 37:59 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.
The median one finished 184 runners, across the 43 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 1:13:52.
