Miles For Smiles - 5K, 10K, Kids Candy Dash

Miles For Smiles - 5K, 10K, Kids Candy Dash runs in New Braunfels, Texas, on October 31, 2026. Two timed distances are offered: the 10K, 6.2 miles, sets off at 8:15 a.m., and the 5K, 3.1 miles, follows at 8:45 a.m. As the name indicates, a kids candy dash rounds out the morning.

Having both distances at one event makes the entry decision straightforward. The 5K suits a first race, or a hard honest effort you can recover from by Monday; the 10K asks for more aerobic patience and rewards anyone already running 20 to 25 miles a week. If you are building toward a winter half marathon, the 10K here works as a checkpoint. Race it at a controlled effort and use the result to set your training paces for the weeks that follow.
