Resolution Run 10K/5K/1M

Everyone makes their fitness resolutions and goals in January, but who sticks to them all the way to December? Really start your year on message and do the Resolution Run, it totally sets the tone for the new year.
In it’s second year, the RR has 5K, 10K, and one mile distance options the afternoon of NYE. I’d prefer morning personally, but having it so close to evening gives it a cool, exciting energy. The 4PM start time makes it easy to get in your last run of the year, head home to hit the shower, and still get ready for whatever crazy celebration you have planned.
The only downside to this run was the difficulty in finding it. Unless you turned into the very first park entrance (before the fire station) there was no way to see the start line or any attendees to know where the race actually was. But once you found the start line (conveniently located by a bathroom!), it was on. Route around KZ Park was an in-​and-​out, with elevation gains at the beginning for a mostly downhill end. But the biggest issue was the temperature: 46 and dropping, which was unpleasant.
If you didn’t go this year, plan to attend the next. The positive atmosphere and uphill course made this an awesome end of year challenge.
