Realistically, the majority of male runners will never come close to breaking 20:00.
So I'm saying Men - 20:00
Women - 22:30
Let the games begin...

I'd agree with that
400m -> 800m -> 1 mile -> 2 mile -> 5K -> 10K -> Half -> Mary
49.5 -> 1:49.7 -> 3:58.7 -> 8:22.4 -> 13:34.7 -> 27:58.6 -> 62:37 -> 2:16.7

I agree with the 20 for guys but having coached a very successful highschool team for 20 years 24 for a female is more equal to the 20 for guys
I would agree with 20 min for males as well.
I coached high school XC for a few years. In my experience, pretty much everyone who took running seriously for a long period of time eventually ran under 18 minutes. Not all of them did it in high school, but those who continued to train seriously after high school all ended up running in the 17s or 16s eventually. This was even true for kids who were running ~30 minutes when they first started running.
So I'd say that 18 minutes is probably the cutoff. In my mind, training seriously necessarily means that you train continuously for many years. And in my experience, everyone who trains consistently for many years breaks 18 minutes. Of course, this might not be true for people who start running in their 40s or 50s, but anyone who starts at a reasonable age should be able to run under 18.
There is no such thing as a serious 5k time. There are only serious runners.
Some non-serious runners will go under 16 minutes. Some serious runners will never break 24 minutes.
About 30 seconds slower than my PR.

If you're not making a living off of it, it's a hobby. Sad to say it.

Two words: Dean K.
I dare any of these clowns who think they're so important because of their 5K time to put it down on their resume.

I think you mean above, not below
Oh, buuuuuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnnnnn!
Men sub18 women sub21
Are we talking road races, track races, or cross country races?
if cross country (e.g., a fairly fast high school course in the US), I'd say 20:00 and 23:15 might be about right. It would have to be faster than that, though, if we're talking about road races or on the track.

My mother trains three times a week, she runs 21 minutes for the 5k. 24 will never be a serious 5k time.
I call BS on that.

When I look at resumes, I like to see stuff like running in the resume. Seeing something like running, biking, swimming, rowing, tells me how they may deal with stress. It also tells me that they may continue to work hard even when things are uncomfortable. The list can go on and on: less likely to be needy, not as much complaining, fewer sick days...
I just hired a guy earlier in the year, in part due to running. He also went to grad school at Hopkins, but his resume was similar to the others.
