About

A Force Against Cancer 5k is held in Centerville on October 25, 2026. One format is listed, a 5K run/walk (3.1 miles), starting at 9:30 a.m.

A run/walk format opens the distance to almost anyone and removes the pressure that stops a lot of people entering a first race: you can alternate two minutes of running with one of walking for the whole 3.1 miles and still finish in good shape. For runners, a 9:30 a.m. start gives you time for a proper warm-up — 10 minutes easy, a handful of strides, then a few minutes to gather yourself before the gun. If you are chasing a time, the preparation is standard: four to six weeks with one interval session and one tempo run a week, easy mileage filling the rest.
