Organiser's Description

It's never too early to start thinking ahead!

We're starting 2026 the only way we know how, with a race! After you ring in the New Year, take a nap then come out, and join us and RUN (or walk) into the New Year! We're putting on the #NYD5K or #NYD5K&HALFMARATHON.

We thought it would be appropriate to kiss 2025 goodbye, and are offering the NYD5K and #NYDHALFMARATHON for just $25! We'll have the same great course, music & an awesome Finisher Medal! Make sure you're registered, as we'll only be offering Finisher Medals for the first 200 participants (we ran out last year!). We'll have shirts as an additional purchase for $25.

If you're not ready to be out & about, join us for the virtual 5K, OR virtual Half Marathon & we will ship you your swag (continental US only; lower 48 states)! Virtual participants will receive a Finisher Medal and shot at awards! Purchase your commemorative NYD 2025 shirt for just $25 during registration!
