Austin’s Coffee House 10K
Sunrise Tour
Let’s stay connected for the long run.
This spring, join the Statesman Cap10K on a new adventure that combines your interest in exploring new training routes with the love for a delicious cup o’ joe: Austin’s Coffee House 10K Sunrise Tour.
While live races are cautiously rebooting, that’s no reason for our runners to slow down. Through this new training program, we’re inviting you to join us each weekend to explore new custom-designed 5K or 10K routes that start and finish at local coffee houses. Reconnect with friends and meet new ones. Join us at the start line of this satisfying new training opportunity.
While social distancing is a must, staying close on social media is highly encouraged! Please document your experience and post your photos with the tag #Sunrise10KTour.
We’re really excited to see thousands of you training for our annual 10K in this new way and staying connected with the Cap10K community for the long run.
Tour Schedule
Each week this spring a new coffee house and training route will be premiered. The tour schedule runs from January through April.
Locations & Routes for Spring Tour
How the Running Tour Works
The running tour works exactly the same way as any other type of training run except we’ll be traveling to a new featured location every other week. The local routes can be run at any time and in any order. All you have to do is make a commitment to getting started. Not super fit yet, not a problem, use our map tools to plan a distance you are comfortable completing. Participation in the tour is absolutely free but only bib holders receive coffee perks.
Do I have to purchase a bib number to run the coffee house tour? No. Participation without a bib number is free, however, our local coffee houses partners have extended special drink discounts when you show your official bib.
Do I have to run a 10K? No. How far you run, walk or skip is completely up to you and your personal fitness level. Our course maps and street decals mark each mile on the route. If you only want to walk 2-miles, flip a u-turn at mile one and retrace your steps to finish your route.
Do I have to run the training routes in sequential order? No. Once each route is published it can be used as a training route at any time.

Recovery
Wildway’s mission is all about getting back to the wild! Getting back to the wild can mean different things to different people, but in a nutshell, it’s about connecting ourselves- to the natural world- to the food that comes from it. It’s about appreciating the beautiful landscapes that nature has given us, sustaining ourselves with real food that comes from the ground (as nature intended it to be), and understanding the connection between the two. Enjoy a sample of Wildway Coconut Cashew at one of the upcoming runs.
