From the Organizer
Laura Crandall Brown Foundation's Head Over Teal 5K & 10K taking place during GYN Cancer Awareness Month!
The proceeds from the race benefit the Laura Crandall Brown Foundation. This annual event helps us provide GYN cancer programs to women, patients, and caregivers throughout the year. LCBF focuses on early detection research, awareness education, and support services for GYN cancer patients and families. Since our founding in 2009, we have granted more than $800,000 for ovarian cancer early detection research, educated tens of thousands of community members on GYN cancer prevention info, signs and symptoms, and provided emotional, educational, and direct financial support to thousands of GYN cancer patients and their loved ones.

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.
