Spring Fling - Waco

Spring Fling - Waco is a multi-format morning of racing in Waco, Texas, on April 4, 2027. The schedule opens with a Kids Dash at 7:55 a.m., then sends the 1 Mile Run, the 5K (3.1 miles), and the 10K (6.2 miles) off together at 8:00 a.m. With four options starting within five minutes of each other, families can enter different distances and still be finished around the same time.

The 5K and 10K are the two to weigh up if you are training seriously. Take the 10K if you have been running four times a week and want a real measure of your fitness; take the 5K if you would rather run something short and quick. Neither needs a long build: four to six weeks of consistent easy mileage with one weekly tempo or interval session covers both. Early April in central Texas can already be warm by mid-morning, which is another argument for the 8:00 a.m. start.
