Duke Of Dough "Donut" Run 10 K, 5 K And Kids K

Duke Of Dough "Donut" Run 10 K, 5 K And Kids K takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 15, 2026, with three staggered starts: the 10K (6.2 miles) at 10:00 AM, the 5K (3.1 miles) at 10:15 AM, and the Kids K (about 0.6 miles) at 11:15 AM. The donut theme and the late-morning schedule set a playful tone, and the hour between the 5K and the kids' race gives parents time to finish before their children run.

The 10K rewards eight to ten weeks of steady running with a weekly long run of 5 to 7 miles, while the 5K works for beginners and for anyone wanting a shorter, faster effort. Both are road races, so training on pavement is appropriate. With a 10:00 AM start, have breakfast around 7:30 AM and warm up with ten minutes of easy jogging. If you would rather enjoy the theme than chase a time, treat the race as an end-of-season celebration and run it at a relaxed pace.
