Time Travel Half Marathon/5K/10K - Shreveport

Time Travel Half Marathon/5K/10K - Shreveport takes place in Shreveport, Louisiana, on January 16, 2027, with every distance starting at 9 a.m.: the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K, a one mile run and a 100 meter kids dash. That start is late for a half marathon and worth noting when you plan your morning, since it leaves room for a proper breakfast and an unhurried warm up.

With five distances on one start time, this is an event built for groups of mixed ability rather than for a single serious runner. If the half is your goal, ten to twelve weeks of four runs a week with one long run reaching 10 miles is a realistic preparation from a standing start. If you are pacing someone else, remember that a 9 a.m. gun puts you on the road later in the day than most of your training runs, so do at least one long run at that hour first.
