About
Cartersville 10K and 5K is held in Cartersville on October 24, 2026, with both distances starting together at 8:00 a.m. Sharing a gun means you should line up according to the pace you intend to run rather than the distance, and be ready for the field to thin out once the two races separate.
The choice between the two comes down to what your autumn has looked like. The 5K asks for a month of consistent running and one weekly session at hard effort, and it is over quickly enough that you can afford to be aggressive. The 10K rewards a longer build, with a weekly long run of six to eight miles and some steady tempo work, and it punishes a fast opening mile far more than the 5K does. Whichever you pick, warm up before an 8:00 a.m. start rather than using the first mile for it.
