Clovis Rodeo 5K

Clovis Rodeo 5K takes place in Clovis, California, on Saturday, April 17, 2027. Two road formats start together at 7:00 a.m.: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 2-mile. The shared start means friends and family members running different distances line up side by side, and the early hour has everyone finished well before the middle of the morning.

Having a 2-mile alongside the 5K is a nice touch that not many events offer. The shorter race suits kids, walkers or anyone easing back after a break, while the 5K is the option for a real effort. Because both go off at 7:00 a.m., get to the start early enough to jog for 10 minutes and loosen up; racing hard on cold legs at that hour is the quickest way to a slow first mile. Three to four runs a week is ample preparation for either distance.
