Space Force T-Minus 10 Miler

Space Force T-Minus 10 Miler takes place in Cape Canaveral, Florida, with the in-person 10-miler (about 16.1 km) on December 12, 2026, and a virtual 10-miler you can complete anytime between November 30 and December 30, 2026. The course follows the Atlantic Ocean along the coastline, in an area shaped by the site's military and space-exploration infrastructure, which gives the race its theme.

Ten miles is a rewarding distance for runners who have moved beyond the 10K but are not ready to commit to a half marathon, and a good tune-up for anyone with a winter half on the calendar. The flat coastal setting favors steady pacing. For the in-person race, plan on eight to ten weeks with three or four runs a week and a weekly long run that builds to 9 or 10 miles. The virtual option gives you a month-long window, so you can pick the day that suits your schedule and run it as a solo time trial.
