Burn Boot Camp 5K & Birdie Derby

Burn Boot Camp 5K & Birdie Derby takes place in Verona, Wisconsin, on October 31, 2026. One timed distance is listed, a 5K of 3.1 miles, and it starts at 11:00 a.m., unusually late for a road race, which changes how you should handle the hours beforehand.

With a late-morning gun you are racing on a fed stomach rather than an empty one, so finish breakfast around three hours out and keep it familiar. Beyond that, the 5K is the most trainable distance there is: four weeks of one weekly interval session, say five or six repetitions of three minutes hard with equal jogging, will show up on the clock. Run the first mile a shade under what feels possible and you will have something to spend over the closing half-mile.
