KIWANIS Resolution Races are in-person runs at Mountain View Shoreline Park! We’ve both a 5K and 10K event to choose from, with Digital Chip timing for both.
This year we are again running on Saturday January 3 to give holiday travelers a chance to participate too. Start the new year out with a great run on a great day on the Bayland trails!. It's a beautiful location with free parking, great race, with post-race snacks and lots of awards.
Please note that no dogs or pets are allowed in Shoreline Park.
We will again have a 1K Kids run this year for ages 1-10 and this year all 1K participants will also receive a race T shirt. Plan on bringing all kids and the neighbors too!
Race Day is Jan 3, 2026. The 10K starts at 10:00 AM and the 5K starts at 10:15 AM. All inside Mountain View Shoreline Park. Parking is free for all.
All participants who register by December 15 will receive a specially designed race T-shirt.
Also please upload photos from your race experience to this website. We'd love to share your experience of the race.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
