Run for Bagels 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX

Run for Bagels 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX is held in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 10, 2027, and it starts half an hour earlier than the rest of the series: the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and the family 1 mile fun run all go off at 7:00 a.m.

A 7:00 gun changes your morning more than it looks. Racing the half means a breakfast around 4:30 a.m. and a warm-up in the dark, both of which are worth rehearsing on a long run beforehand rather than discovering on race day. The road distances themselves are familiar territory: a 12-week build with one weekly long run prepares the half, while the 10K rewards a few weeks of threshold work and asks far less of your calendar.
