The 10K Course

7:15 Start Time
Start at the same time as the Palmer 5K! Buses will be available all morning to get you to the start line!
Rolling Start
Not a morning person? Miss your bus? That’s fine. You’re welcome to start the XPAC 10K at any time you choose before 9:15 AM, and your time will be recorded from when you start to when you finish!
Extra Challenge
Looking for a little extra challenge? Add the XPAC 10K on to the 5K, half marathon, marathon relay, or even the full marathon. You MUST start your 10K by 9:15 AM. Note that if you choose this option, you will pick up your second bib at the starting line before you start the race.
