We don't run to escape life. We run to rise. 🌟

Team Churchie is for women in midlife who are ready to feel strong, confident, alive and fully themselves again.

Running. Movement. Nature. Sisterhood. 🏃‍♀️🌿💛

Because midlife isn't the beginning of the end. It can be the beginning of everything ✨✨

The average 5K is 31:28 for men and 37:28 for women.

Those numbers surprise the fast crowd, because the 5K is the distance everyone assumes they should be quick at. It is short enough to feel accessible and long enough to punish anyone who starts too hard. The field is full of first-timers, parkrunners, walk-run finishers and people showing up for a local charity race on a Saturday morning.

Sub-30 puts a man ahead of about two thirds of the field and a woman ahead of three quarters. Sub-25 is the top 10% for men. Under 22 minutes puts a woman in the top 1%.

The spread here is wider than at any other distance. Fourteen minutes separate the average from the top 1%, which is more than the fastest finishers take to complete the whole race.

Numbers from RunRepeat, based on 35 million race results. Global data, weighted toward the US, EU, UK, Canada and Australia.
