Event Description
Run out the old year, and welcome the new! One of Fort Collins’ oldest races, the Resolution Run, is back for its 43rd year!
Get a head start on your New Year's Resolution by enjoying a family-friendly, neighborhood streets 5K starting & finishing at Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC).
- Kids, strollers, dogs & walkers welcome!
- Finish in under 20:26 to earn a special prize!
- The race is held after sunset – we’ll provide glow sticks by the bucket, and everyone is encouraged to show off their bright clothes and lights!
Entry fees include:
- Gender-specific long-sleeve t-shirt (register by December 20th to guarantee a shirt)
- Finisher momento
- Glow sticks
- Got chocolate
- A great time!
*THIS IS A RULES OF THE ROAD RUN*. Per our permit requirements, runners must obey all traffic laws and yield to traffic if encountered (this includes vehicles backing out of driveways). That being said, the race is held on low traffic residential streets, and the odds of encountering a vehicle on course are low.
Want to help out? We’re looking for course marshals, hot cocoa slingers, packet pickup, awards & more! Sign up here!
Online registration closes at 11:59pm December 30. If the race has not sold out, all race-day registration will be on-site at packet pickup.
We hope to secure open skate time in EPIC, as usual, as well. This will be updated as soon as confirmation is obtained. If available, you can bring your own skates or rent them on-site for $3. Open skate from at least 6:00pm-7:30pm.
