What is a good time for a 5k run?

A beginner who has never run before can have a running pace of 12-15 minutes/mile. This means that a 5K run would be completed in around 36-45 minutes. A pace of 10 minutes/mile lets you finish a 5k in about 30 minutes. Anything less than 30 minutes is a good time, particularly for the first 5k race. However, a beginner should aim for finishing the race and not competing for time.
