What times do you consider good, decent, and bad for 5K races?


I was a distance runner during my late teens and early 20s. I did cross country my senior year of high school and I ran a few casual 5k races.

From my own personal experience I would say, regardless of age, this is how I would categorize various times:

13-16 minutes = Elite
16-19 minutes = Great
19-22 minutes = Good
22-25 minutes = Average
25+ minutes = Run More

I promise you, this isn't the average for your local 5k run

Just to add, those times are for people that actually run and train and are in shape already.
