A 10K Race is a popular racing distance. Many runners start by entering a 5-K, then shift upwards to the 10-K (10,000 meters, or 6.2 miles) en route to a marathon. Or they begin at the marathon and look for lower mileage races, realizing they can improve their speed and race more frequently at 10K distances. 10K races are fun to run and easy to run.
