Bookin' For Lookin'

Bookin' For Lookin' takes place in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, on April 25, 2027. Two road distances are offered, a 10K and a 5K, both starting at 8:30 a.m. With a single start time for the two races, you pick your distance when you register rather than deciding on the morning.

Choosing between them comes down to what you want out of the spring. The 5K is the sharper, more painful option and the better one for a personal best; the 10K asks you to sit at a hard but sustainable effort for twice as long, which is useful preparation if a half marathon is on your calendar later in the year. Six to eight weeks of consistent running, with one weekly tempo run of 20 to 25 minutes and a long run of an hour, covers either distance comfortably. An 8:30 a.m. start leaves room for a proper 15-minute warm-up.
