The Momemtum Fall Classic

The Momemtum Fall Classic takes place in Janesville, Wisconsin, on October 31, 2026, with two road formats on the schedule. The one-mile race goes off first at 9 a.m., and the 5K follows at 9:20 a.m., so you can enter either one or make a short morning of both.

Distances this short reward speed rather than patience. The mile is over almost as soon as it starts and suits anyone curious about their top-end pace, while the 5K gives you enough room to settle into a rhythm and still push hard over the closing stretch. If you are new to racing, a few weeks of easy running plus one weekly session of faster repetitions is enough preparation; if you are chasing a personal best, treat the mile as a sharpener and save your best effort for the 5K.
