Pikes Peak 10K

Pikes Peak 10K is run in Rockville, Maryland, in Montgomery County on the edge of Washington, D.C., on April 25, 2027. The single distance is a 10K (6.2 miles), following the long straights of Rockville Pike, one of the region's major roads, out toward the busy North Bethesda area. The profile is thoroughly urban, with no green sections at all, crossing a significant commercial and business corridor of the capital region.

Straight, wide roads and a lively crowd on the sidewalks give this one the feel of a metropolitan sprint rather than a quiet Sunday outing. It is a fast course and it suits runners who want to perform over 10 kilometers in a dense city environment. Prepare with six weeks of consistent mileage, one weekly threshold session of 20 to 25 minutes, and a long run of an hour.
