From the Organizer
The Resolute Runner 5K is the KICK OFF PARTY OF THE YEAR! It's time to be RESOLUTE, to retroactively earn your pumpkin pie and chocolate truffles, and to start the new year on the right foot, literally!
The course starts at Johnny Roberts Memorial Park in Arvada, CO, and winds through the beautiful Ralston Creek Trail. It really is quite a scenic race! As you run, all of your fans will be able to see you from the start line, then walk less than 1/3 of a mile to see you at two different points before cheering on your finish. This is a very spectator friendly venue and a great way to kick off the New Year!
Be a part of our community-based race as we partner with Community Table to restock their cupboards after a busy holiday season.
Join a team of 5 or more and everyone saves $5! See our FAQ page for more info!
