Urban Nature 10k

Urban Nature 10k takes place in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on November 1, 2026. The event is put on by Wild Trails and lists a single format, a 10K, which puts it within reach of anyone already running a few times a week. No start time has been published, so check the event listing before you finalize your plans for the morning.

A 10K asks for speed you can hold for something between 35 and 60 minutes, which makes it a sensible autumn target after a summer of easy base mileage. If you intend to race it, eight to ten weeks of work is enough: one weekly session at threshold effort, a long run of 8 to 10 miles, and easy days on either side of the hard efforts. Runners moving up from the 5K will find the effort more patient than sharp, and anyone building toward a spring half marathon can use the day as a fitness check that costs almost no recovery.
