Donut Stop Running - Stockton

Donut Stop Running - Stockton takes place in Stockton, California, on April 10, 2027, with two distances leaving at 8:00 a.m.: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 1K. The short pairing means a family can enter together, with younger children taking the 1K while everyone else runs the 5K.

Neither distance calls for a heavy training block. If you have been running two or three times a week, you are already prepared for the 5K; if you are starting from scratch, four weeks of alternating jogging and walking will get you comfortably to the finish. Runners who want a time out of the morning should warm up properly beforehand, since a 5K gives you no chance to ease into it, and hold a steady effort through the middle of the race rather than sprinting the opening stretch.
