From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find 10k events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
This isn't your typical race. Our Club Member winter race series makes every runner competitive, whether you are an elite runner or a back-of-the-packer. We'll stagger the race start so that everyone is predicted to finish at the same time. Each runner starts based on their pace, with the fastest runner starting last. Faster runners try to catch up in a mad dash to the finish line. Hang out after the race and enjoy some hot drinks on us.
