Boombox Miles 5k & 10k

Boombox Miles 5k & 10k is on the calendar for January 23, 2027, in Fort Worth, Texas. The morning opens with the Little Boombox Dash, a short kids' race, at 7:30 a.m., followed by the Boombox 10k at 8 a.m. and the Boombox 5k ten minutes later at 8:10 a.m. The tight gap between the two adult races means the field is largely on course together.

Running both distances back to back is not the idea here, so pick one and commit. The 10K is the more interesting test: long enough that going out too hard costs you real minutes, short enough that you can hold a genuinely uncomfortable pace once you settle. Six to eight weeks with one tempo run and one interval session per week prepares it well. The kids' dash makes this an easy race to bring a family to rather than plan around.
