The Mighty Mountain 5k
This classic course will take you through well maintained trail of rolling hills, gravel, and asphalt through a beautiful hard wood forest near creeks and lakes of Camp Caraway. You will go over the top of Longarm Ridge where you will be rewarded with beautiful mountain views! For our returners, this year's route will be similar to the one from two races ago. This is the perfect race for both runners and walkers.
The Mighty Mountain 10k
You asked, and we listened! Introducing the Mighty Mountain 10k. In this race there will be 2 Mountains to tackle, the familiar Longarm Ridge and new-to-you Orchard Mountain which is the original site where Caraway was founded. In this new challenging course you will gain around 350ft of elevation in the first 1.5 miles. The trail will consist of gravel road, single track dirt/rocky trail, the edge of an 80ft rock face, some great foliage cover and more scenic views. If you love the classic experience, the 10K will not disappoint. Strict walking of the whole 10k course is strongly discouraged. Mixed running/walking is permitted.

Race Location
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.
