10k runs are perhaps the most popular running events in the US. A 10k race (about 6.2 miles) is an achievable but challenging distance for a beginner looking to move up from 5k races and fun runs. However, a 10k is also an excellent distance for more experienced runners and is often used to increase endurance for longer distances.

Choose from regular races to enter from the East Coast in California, to Florida and New York on the West Coast as well as plenty of runs in Texas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and more.
