Sweater Weather Run 15k, 10k & 5k

Sweater Weather Run 15k, 10k & 5k is held in Mesquite, Texas, on November 14, 2026, with three distances starting a few minutes apart: the 15K at 8:00 AM, the 10K at 8:15 AM, and the 5K at 8:20 AM. The listed course distances run a touch long, at about 9.6, 6.4, and 3.2 miles respectively, which is worth knowing if you are comparing your finish time against a standard 15K, 10K, or 5K.

The 15K is the standout choice for anyone between 10K and half-marathon fitness: it asks for a real long run in training, around 8 to 10 miles, but recovers faster than a half. Eight to ten weeks of preparation with one weekly long run and one tempo session is a sensible plan. The 10K and 5K work as tune-ups or as first races for newer runners. With three staggered starts, check which wave you are in and time your warm-up so you are not standing around cooling off, or rushing to the line, when your distance is called.
