From the Organizer
This year's 50th edition of the Saunders 10k will once again be held on the third Thursday in August, (8/20) starting at 6 pm., and will be limited to 500 competitors. In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, a virtual race will also be held for those who are unable to participate in the official live race.
The Live race will be run on a modified version of the original course that winds around and through the town of Rye, NH. The start and finish will be on Central Road near the Partners Bank with the finish and parking across the road in the large field near the turn onto Locke Rd. (Use 211 Central Rd. for GPS location) The race will have cash prizes, AND as in year’s past, there will be a limited number of special T-shirts that will need to be won in each of the age groups

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.
