I can't imagine that taking fluids during a 5K or 10K would enhance one's performance. Not that one couldn't be volume-depleted by the end of a 10K, it's just there would be such a limited time for any absorption to occur. Nor wouls a few ounces of a cool liquid do much to lower an elevated core temperature. Silly.
I am not sure I have ever taken fluids in a 10k or less, but the last marathon I ran, where the temp went from 72F to 86 during the day, the psychological boost from a cold cup over my head was extremely invigorating.
