About this race
Kick off the year with fresh goals, good company and a few miles at the New Year's 5K! Whether you're chasing a new personal best, starting a New Year's resolution, or simply looking for a fun way to get moving with family and friends, this race is the perfect way to begin the year.
Join us on January 2 at 10:00 AM for the 5K. We're also getting the youngest runners involved with a Kids Half Mile, making this a great event for the entire family.
The 5K starts and finishes on the track at Travelers Rest High School, and most of the race is on the paved Gold Line of the Swamp Rabbit Trail. It's designed for runners and walkers of all abilities, including first-timers.
