Romp Stomp 5K/10K

Romp Stomp 5K/10K is run in Georgetown, Texas, on December 13, 2026, and it starts early. The one-kilometer run/walk goes first at 7:30 a.m., the 10K and 5K runs set off together at 7:45 a.m., and the 10K walk follows at 7:50 a.m.

Separating the walkers from the runners on the 10K keeps the road clear at the front, so if you are chasing a time, you will not be weaving through traffic in the opening mile. Six to eight weeks of consistent running with one tempo session a week is enough to race the 10K well; the 5K needs less and suits a first attempt at a road race. Given the 7:30 start, plan to be up early, eat something small an hour ahead, and leave real time to warm up before the gun.
