From the Organizer
Dave's 10-Miler was started in 1974 by Dave himself and has happened every year regardless of the unpredictable weather. Join us in this historic event and take on the county roads of Delta... who knows, you may even spot a yeti lurking in the fields..
The course begins and finishes at Pike Delta York Middle School and loops through the beautiful countryside of Delta. After the race, fill your belly with a great hot lunch and shower inside the Middle School. Choose between the 10 Miler or 10K, both will be sure to have you dancing with the Yeti!

From Endurance Grid
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.
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.
