Dam Bridge 10K

Dam Bridge 10K takes place in Florence, Alabama, on November 21, 2026. The event has a single format, a 10K (6.2 miles) starting at 7:00 AM. The web address belongs to Race Ready Events, which appears to be the organizer. With only one distance on offer and an early gun, this is a race aimed at runners who want a focused effort over 6.2 miles rather than a festival-style morning with multiple options.

A 10K sits in a useful middle ground: long enough to reward endurance, short enough to race hard from start to finish. If you are moving up from the 5K, plan on six to eight weeks of training with a weekly long run of 6 to 8 miles and one session of tempo running, such as 3 x 1 mile at a comfortably hard pace. Runners targeting a personal best should rehearse goal pace in the final weeks and taper for the last five days. With a 7:00 AM start, set out your kit the night before, eat a small breakfast early, and warm up for ten to fifteen minutes so you are ready to run at pace from the first mile.
