ONE Run

ONE Run is held in Dallas, Texas, on April 3, 2027. Two formats share an 8:00 a.m. start: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 1-mile run. Both go off at the same time, so the morning is short and the finish area fills quickly once the mile runners are through.

Pairing a mile with a 5K covers two different kinds of racing. The mile is a pure speed event, over in five to ten minutes for most people, and it is a genuinely useful thing to run once a season because it tells you exactly where your top-end fitness sits. The 5K asks you to hold a hard but sustainable pace for 3.1 miles instead. Neither needs a long build; a few weeks of regular running with one session of fast repeats will do. Since both start at 8:00 a.m., pick one rather than planning to double.
