The Resolution Run 5K is a New Year’s Day tradition built for every kind of participant — first-time runners, walkers shaking off the holidays, and experienced athletes starting their training year with intent. The paved, mostly flat route keeps things friendly and achievable, while the cheerful atmosphere leans more toward celebration than competition. Many come dressed in bright colours or New Year gear, making the start line feel like a small festival in the winter air. With medals or swag items that celebrate new beginnings, it’s the kind of event that sets the tone for a motivated, movement-filled year ahead.
