Organiser's Description
START YOUR YEAR THE RUGGED WAY
Kick off 2027 on the Oregon Coast with the Newport Resolution Run & Plunge a gritty, beautiful, community-centered way to start the new year.
Set at South Beach State Park in Newport, Oregon, this event brings together raw coastal scenery, winter grit, and one unforgettable finish-line tradition: the plunge.
Choose your distance:
Half Marathon
A rugged mix of road and trail. The half marathon starts and finishes on pavement, with a challenging stretch through the Wilder Trail system in the middle. Expect coastal air, rolling terrain, and a course that asks you to earn the finish.
The half marathon has a 2:45 cutoff for full course support, but well be cheering you across the finish line either way.
10K & 5K
Flat, fast, and welcoming for runners and walkers looking to start the year strong. The 10K and 5K are road out-and-back courses perfect for chasing a New Years PR, building momentum, or simply showing up with your community.
The Ultimate Coastal Finish
The Newport Resolution Run & Plunge is built around one unforgettable tradition: finishing your race and taking the plunge.
Our primary plan is to finish near the Pacific Ocean shoreline, where runners can celebrate by plunging into the ocean after crossing the finish line.
If strong winds, surf conditions, or other coastal safety concerns make the ocean finish unfavorable, we will use our alternate finish and plunge location at the South Beach Marina. This keeps the plunge tradition alive while allowing us to make the safest race-day decision for participants, volunteers, and crew.
The plunge is optional, but the memory lasts all year.
Why Join Us?
The Newport Resolution Run & Plunge is more than a race. Its a bold beginning.
Its about starting the year with purpose, embracing the elements, and celebrating what your body and spirit can do. Youll find rugged coastal beauty, human grit, warm community energy, and the kind of finish-line memory that sticks with you all year.
Whether youre chasing a goal, tackling the half marathon trails, running your first 5K, or plunging with friends, this is your invitation to start 2027 the rugged way.
