In 2026 with your help, we supported the Ronald McDonald House to purchase items (snacks) for were families stay when children are in the hospital as well as donate to The Brooklyn Project Foundation. The Brooklyn Project Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, committed to furthering research and clinical trials for childhood cancer patients in the state of Arkansas. They provide funding to the Innovative Therapies Program of the Hematology/Oncology department at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. This program fuels advances in prevention, treatment, and survivorship so that Arkansas’s childhood cancer patients do not have to leave the state during the most critical time in their treatment.
Stride to End Childhood Cancer
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. No child deserves cancer. Yet lymphomas, leukemias, and other forms of the disease common in children are the stark reality for many youth – and their families. There is both heartache and hope.

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
