The 10km is the people's distance, a proper test of speed and endurance that's still achievable for most runners with a bit of training. It's a fixture of nearly every running festival in the country, from the Real Insurance Harbour 10 around Sydney Harbour to the 10km legs of the big city marathons. Fast, flat and often certified, it's a brilliant distance for chasing a personal best or stepping up from the 5km.
