About the race

A good pick for your first race.

Training for it

A 10K plan usually takes eight to twelve weeks from a base of running a few times a week.

  • Build your longest run to 12 to 15 km so the race distance feels manageable.
  • One threshold or interval session a week is enough.
  • Practise your race-morning routine on a long-run day.
