Java Jog 5K/10K

Welcome to the Java Jog 5K/10K—the event where every mile is fueled by flavor, fun, and fresh motivation! Today we’re serving up two great distances: a smooth and steady 5K and a bold, full-bodied 10K. But for those runners who like their race day extra strong, we’re also proud to present the Espresso Challenge—where athletes take on both the 5K and the 10K for the ultimate double-shot experience.

Whether you’re here for a relaxed morning run, a flavorful challenge, or an all-out caffeine-fueled adventure, this race has something for everyone. So shake off the sleepiness, warm up those legs, and get ready to kickstart your day with a course that’s sure to energize.

Cold crisp mornings are a regular thing…come by Rock Creek to watch a beautiful sunrise and enjoy a Flat & Fast 5K/10K

We'll have Finisher Medals, a Long Sleeve Shirt, and great awards for the Top 3 Overall M/F, Top 3 Overall Masters M/F, Top 3 Overall Grand Master M/F, Top 3 Overall Senior Master M/F, and the Top 3 in the 5 year age groups (10 & under - 75+).

Espresso Challenge awards to the Top 3 Male & Female.
