Charlottesville Ten Miler

Charlottesville Ten Miler takes place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on March 27, 2027. A single format is on the program: ten miles on the road, starting at 7:15 AM.

Ten miles is an underrated racing distance and a genuinely useful one. It is long enough that pacing decisions matter, short enough that you can run close to half marathon effort and recover inside a week, and it lands neatly in the middle of a spring build. If you are pointed at a half marathon or marathon later in the season, race this one at your goal half pace and treat the result as a checkpoint. Preparation is straightforward: a long run building to twelve miles, one steady or tempo session a week, and an easy few days beforehand. The 7:15 AM start means an early alarm, so practice eating breakfast that early at least once.
