New Name, New Trails, Same Community Heart: Welcome to the Granite Bay 5K!
The tradition you love is back—but with a fresh look and more ways to move!
This year, we are thrilled to officially rebrand our annual event as the Granite Bay 5K. While our name has changed, our mission to support the Eureka Union School District remains the heartbeat of every step we take.
Join us for an electric morning of fitness and fun on Sunday, September 13th, 2026! With over 1,000 participants cheering and running together, this is Granite Bay’s premier community event. Whether you're chasing a personal best in the 10K, enjoying a scenic stroll with the family in the 5K, or cheering on the little ones in the ¼-Mile Kids Race, every single step you take directly supports the Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF).

About This Sport
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.
