Her Fall Forward 5K

Her Fall Forward 5K takes place in Stockton, California, on November 7, 2026. The program holds a single distance, a 5K covering 3.1 miles, with the start at 8 a.m.

Central Valley mornings in November are cool and often still, which is close to ideal for a short road race, though morning fog is worth accounting for in your layers. A 5K is the friendliest distance to commit to: a month of running three or four times a week is enough for a first one, and for a personal best you mostly need one weekly session of faster repetitions on top of easy mileage. Whatever your goal, warm up beforehand, because 3.1 miles gives you no time to find your rhythm.
