NVRC First Night 5K Resolution Run Presented by Mount Nittany Health

The Resolution Run begins at 6:30 pm.
Get in the spirit by wearing a costume!
Not a runner? Gather along the route to cheer them on!
Runners and fast walkers can speed into the New Year on a certified, mostly flat, wheel-measured course around the streets of the Penn State Campus in one of the most popular events of First Night State College. The 5K Resolution Run starts and finishes on College Avenue. Even if you aren’t a runner (or fast walker) and would never run (or walk fast) in a million years, you can join in the fun by cheering on the participants.
This year's First Night 5K Resolution Run is a joint production with the Nittany Valley Running Club. The presenting Sponsor of the run is Mount Nittany Health.
We encourage runners–and spectators–to wear costumes. Over the years we’ve seen men wearing everything from Speedos to tuxedos and women dressed as everything from bees to trees. Don’t pass up this chance to make a splash on social media! Who knows….your Resolution Run costume may be your ticket to a life as an Instagram influencer!  It could happen!
Registration fee is $25 if postmarked on or before December 24th. Thereafter registration is $28. Special incentive for runners ages 19 and under only: $15 for pre-race registration, $18 thereafter (note: FNSC Button not included in this package).
Runners can register online here and in person on December 30, 2-4pm at the State College Municipal Bldg (243 S. Allen St.), as well as on December 31, race day, from 4-6pm at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church basketball court, which will also serve as baggage storage during the race.
