Wild Flowers 10k

Wild Flowers 10k is held in Auburn, California, on April 17, 2027. A single distance is on the program: the 10K (6.2 miles), with the gun at 8:30 AM. The one-format setup keeps the morning simple — one start, one distance, and a spring date that suits runners coming out of a winter base.

A 10K asks for a different kind of patience than a 5K, since you hold a firm, repeatable rhythm instead of an all-out effort. Six to eight weeks of preparation is plenty if you already run three times a week: add one tempo run of 20 to 25 minutes at a comfortably hard pace, keep everything else easy, and rehearse a conservative opening mile so the second half turns out to be the faster one.
