The RWM Benchmark Series
About this race
The RWM Benchmark Series is a private virtual series for RunWithMort athletes and their inner circle. This isn't a race for medals or bragging rights. It's a structured fitness tool designed to give you honest, repeatable data on where your fitness stands and how it's moving over time.
Every event in the series uses the same format: a solo, timed event on a route of your choice. You run it, you log it, and your result becomes a data point in your personal performance story. Over multiple benchmarks, spaced months apart, you'll see your fitness respond to training in a way that no single race result can show you.
If you're a RunWithMort athlete, your benchmark results feed directly into your coaching picture. If you're part of our inner circle, this is a low-pressure way to get a real read on your current fitness, and a front-row seat to what data-driven training actually does.
No entry fees. No courses. No crowds. Just you, a set distance, and the truth.
Join fellow runners on May 9, 2026 for the The RWM Benchmark Series. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Frisco.

5K Run
This is a virtual event. You run your 5K on your own, on any route you choose, during the benchmark window. There is no start line, no course, and no in-person gathering. How to run your benchmark: * Choose a route you can repeat across future benchmarks. Consistency in your course makes your results more comparable over time * Run it as a honest time trial effort (not a casual jog, not an all-out PR attempt) * Note your conditions: temperature, terrain, and how you felt that day. This context is valuable when reviewing progress How to submit your result: * Upload your GPS file (Garmin, Apple Watch, Strava export, etc.) or enter your time manually * Submit within the benchmark window. Late submissions won't be included in the series results * RunWithMort athletes: If you're registered at app.runwithmort.com with an active Garmin connection, your result will automatically populate to the results page. No manual submission needed Who this series is for: This is a private series for RunWithMort athletes and invited participants. If you received a link or access code, you're in the right place. Please don't share registration access publicly. Results: Your times are visible to other series participants. This is intentional. Friendly accountability is part of the point. Questions? Reach out to Coach Mort directly. This is a small, personal series and you'll get a real answer.
