SHRM Washington DC Impact 5K

SHRM Washington DC Impact 5K is a 5K in Washington, D.C., on November 7, 2026, starting at 8:00 a.m. One distance, 3.1 miles, on a Saturday morning in the capital, and an early enough finish that the rest of the day stays yours.

City 5Ks reward a proper warm-up more than extra training. Jog fifteen minutes, add four or five short accelerations, and be at the line two minutes before the gun rather than ten. From there the race comes down to holding a pace that feels hard but repeatable through the second mile, which is always the one that decides your time. Four weeks of running three times a week, with one session of short repeats at goal pace, is enough to be ready.
