Description
X10–2027 (5K Edition)
5K. Ten times. One year.
X10 2027 is a monthly 5K challenge from Race The Machine.
Can you run, jog or walk 5K on the first weekend of each month and complete ten across the year?
Same weekend. Same ritual. Entrants across the world.
That is X10.
📅 When It Happens
X10 takes place on the first weekend of every month in 2027.
The first X10 Weekend arrives quickly: Friday 1 January to Sunday 3 January 2027.
Run, jog or walk 5K anytime between Friday and Sunday, anywhere on Earth.
- 12 official X10 Weekends across the year
- Complete 10 to finish
- One Freedom Run allowed if life gets in the way
🏃 What Is X10?
X10 is not a race.
It is a monthly running ritual.
No target time. No pace pressure. The main measure is completion.
Run the distance. Log the month. Keep going.
- No fixed route
- No mass start
- No medal just for entering
- No fossil-fuelled travel required
Just one question:
Can you keep showing up across the year?
You can run on roads, trails, tracks, treadmills, at parkrun, or as part of another event.
Solo runs count. Race days count.
Looking for the 10K edition? Choose X10–2027 (10K Edition).
Can I use parkrun?
Yes. Complete your 5K at parkrun, on your own route, on a treadmill, or as part of another event.
