== 10KM is a distance that should not in itself be directly associated with this 10K run thing ==

As we all know:

K is first and full-most the mathematical prefix Kilo, meaning 1000 or 10^3... just like numbers mathematical prefixes are aribitary unless applied to a unit such as distance (meters, miles etc...),time (seconds), Mass (gram), etc...

Km means therefore Kilo Meter not "10K run"
or put differently Km means a 1000 meters.... nothing more nothing less
nothing in itself to do with running

I strongly recommend that 10KM should not redirect to this "10K run" but instead should lead to a disambiguation or perhaps even its own page

When you think about it, a 10K run could mean 10000 baby steps or 10000 trips to the sun and back.... or £/$10000 run

rant over

PS: you people out there doing runs for charity are amazing and I'm never gonna stop sponsoring you
