Common Questions About Running an October Half Marathon in New York
What is a good Half Marathon time?
Across the 3 of these October half marathons with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 2:03:28, and the median winning time was 1:08:49. So anything under 2:03:28 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 October Half Marathon field?
The median one finished 222 runners, across the 3 of these October half marathons 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 3:10:34.
