About the Cindy's Race 10 Mile

The courses start and finish at Howarth Park, winding along paved paths around Spring Lake. The shorter options stay near the lake and pass under redwoods, with enough rolling hills to keep things honest. The longer course pushes into Annadal State Park, climbing Spring Creek before looping back, and mixes trail with pavement throughout.

Packet pickup runs the day before at Fleet Feet in Santa Rosa, with a race-morning window as well. The race is organized around a breast cancer awareness cause, so the crowd tends to include people who are there for a reason beyond the finish line.

Common Questions About the Cindy's Race 10 Mile

Will I finish last at the Cindy's Race 10 Mile?

Almost certainly not. Half the 6K field finished slower than 49:24, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:36:52, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Cindy's Race 10 Mile a good first 6K?

It is a small race (95 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 6K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Cindy's Race 10 Mile?

The 6K winner ran 28:14 while the median finisher took 49:24. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
