What is the average time it takes to run a five kilometers?
Average... for anyone? That's a very good question and one that's also difficult to determine.

Other very good times range between 21 and 24 minutes. However, in Cross Country, the times for girls range from about 16 minutes to 35 minutes.Guys in high school cross country often run it somewhere between 16 minutes and 30 minutes.
However, there are much faster... such as Olympic athletes, getting times such as 14:16 (for women) and 12:37 (for men).
But the average person who doesn't run every day or is not in top shape is a different story.
I know this wasn't the perfect answer, but hopefully someone can add to it. I !Who is the Fastest cross country runner?
well... that all depends on the amount of energy, the course, and the feeling of the runner at that specific time. i race cross country and the winner for my jr high school is at a 5:40 mile... good but not the best. so no there is no specific fastest cross country runner.
For a 5k (3.1 miles), which is what high schoolers run the best time is 15:02. Evan Apple used to run at my school and he ran at a time of 15:10. He was 3rd in the nation.

What are those arm socks that runners wear?
I don't know if you can buy them, but I know that Olympic marathon qualifier Ryan Hall cut his own from underarmour, and my friend followed his example... You can definitely buy these from running and outdoor sports stores. Many runners wear them for UV protection. In addition they wick away moisture and, depending on the fabric, can have a cooling effect. In cold weather, they protect the arms from wind and UV rays, and provide greater freedom of motion than a full jacket.
