Trot Thru The Terrace 5K, 10K & 1 Mile

Trot Thru The Terrace 5K, 10K & 1 Mile takes place in Temple Terrace, Florida, on November 7, 2026. The starts come in quick succession: the 10K (6.2 miles) at 8:00 a.m., the 5K (3.1 miles) at 8:05, and the one-mile run/walk at 8:15. Three distances inside fifteen minutes means a family or a training group can all race and still finish within a short window of each other.

The 10K is the distance worth targeting if you have a base of four runs a week; it punishes an over-eager first mile more than a 5K does, so settle into a rhythm you could hold for 45 minutes to an hour. Eight weeks with a weekly long run of 7 to 8 miles covers it. The mile is a good entry point for children or anyone racing for the first time.
