I am 15 years old and currently run a 4:37 mile. Although it is the best time at my school this year, Alan Webb (American mile-record holder), while a sophomore (approximately 15 years old like me) had a current personal best of 4:06! This was many years ago, and although I'm not sure if it is an American record for 15 year olds, it must be extremely close! Alan's senior year he broke the high school record for the mile run with an astonishing time of 3:53 (18 years old)! He has now improved his personal best to the American record with a time of 3:46! Talk about fast!

Yes, running a 5K in 18 minutes is a great time for a 15 year old. Congrats.I believe a 15 year old running a 5K in 18 minutes is excellent; competing time for a 5K is 19-20 minutes.
The fastest time recorded for the race.
The fastest 5K for a 12-year-old girl is 16:17, according to the No Excuses 5K. (14:52 for 12-year-old boys.)
According to the No Excuses 5K race, 14:51 for females and 13:11 for males.
Mayson Levandoski 24:06 10-20-12 official chip time.
Chris Everts of SWFl ran the worlds fastest 5k with a time of 13:17 back in nov. 12, 2008
There are no official records kept for the fastest 5k run by a 6-year-old girl as it is not a common distance for children that young to race. It is important for young children to focus on age-appropriate training and activities for their physical development.
