Lululemon Announces Its First 10K Race in America – runnersworld.com

• is hosting a 10K in San Diego on November 10—the Canada-based brand’s first 10K race in the U.S.
• Runners will receive an eight-week training plan that focuses on mindfulness, a shirt, and a finisher’s medal.
• The race will finish with a yoga, recovery, and music celebration.
• You can sign up for the race starting today, July 26, 2019.

While it often flies under the radar, the 10K is a money distance to race for many runners. At 6.2 miles, it’s a stepping stone for beginners who have a few 5Ks under their belts but might not be quite ready to tackle a half marathon, while seasoned long-distance runners and marathoners can also get a good workout from racing it full throttle.

And while there are numerous 10Ks around the country, the latest to hit the states is the Lululemon San Diego 10K—the Canada-based brand’s first race in the U.S.—which will be held on November 10. (Lululemon has previously hosted 10Ks in Toronto, Ontario, and Edmonton, Alberta.) For $84, you’ll receive race entry, an eight-week training plan that focuses on mindfulness, a shirt, and a finisher’s medal.

The race will start at San Diego’s Shelter Island and finish at Waterfront Park—you’ll have relaxing views of the water and palm trees as you run. And keeping with the brand’s emphasis on mindfulness, the race will finish with a yoga, recovery, and music celebration.

All runners deserve recovery and celebration, regardless of a finishing time.”
