Post what you think the average 5k pr of letsrunners is and your pr. Also add whether it is xc or not.
avg: 17:50
mine: 17:19 (xc)
What they act like: 16:00 and lower.
In reality: 18:00 and higher.
a really 'scientific' poll was taken a few years ago, and the avg showed 15:45. I don' know 'bout that though.
I doubt that a little. That time would be top 3 in every road race I've seen and it would win quite a few!
16:45
mine: 16:13 xc (fast course though)
17:28, male, xc
This conversation will never end.
I too was skeptical of the 15:45 average when the poll was taken. I have run far too many races where no one runs near that time, so how could that be an AVERAGE around here? The answer is simple and was made to me in another recent thread:
Serious runners come here. A regular 5k road race is comprised of hobby joggers, weekend warriors, and a few have-beens. Even those have-beens running 16:40 to win a local road race may have once run 15:15 on a track team in college. That isn't rare.

Keep in mind first that faster people are more likely to respond, and then factor in the fact that the average letsrunner lies by approximately 1 minute, and the 17:50 estimate seems pretty accurate.
Average: 16:20
Mine: 16:21
I would swap those two numbers.
there are so called 'elite' runners who post here from time to time and 15:15 is nothing ... for more than a few roaming around here
My PR is 15:42. I know you all wanted to know how elite I am.
I think there's a lot of people on here with PRs > 20 mins.
19:42
Average 5km of Letsrunners, I would guess 17 minutes.
There are quite a few sub 14 guys. Certainly some hobby joggers but for the most part serious i.e sub 18 guys and girls. My PB is 14:56, lots of low 15's and unfortunatley lots much slower than that the last few years. would kill to break even 16 again.
16:52
14:58 road
If I was going to lie I'd say 13:58 in a track race. I'm thinking that that's about as fast as I could say and 1) have it still be believable, and 2) slow enough that you wouldn't be able to check.
Male, 53 years old
PRs: 16:04 (track), 16:08 (roads) both set back in 1999.
Current: 18:38
Avg. LetsRun PR: ~18:00 would be my guess, factoring in both women and men visitors.
I think the average is 16 min
My 3 mile PR- 15:38 flat road race. I haven't ran a full 5k in a while.
From the statman crothers days: First 5000 m (track), then 5K (road).
