Event Overview
All participants will receive a medal, and you have the option to take part in the "Let Go and Affirmation" activity, or simply enjoy the run—it’s entirely up to you. We believe this is a fun and positive way to kick off 2025, setting the tone for a great year ahead!
How it Works
Let Go Before You Go:
- Release Your Burdens: Before the run, write down anything you want to release—your grievances, frustrations, or things weighing you down.
- Burn or Drop: Drop them into our burn containers or "goodbye" containers, leaving the negative energy behind.
Run Free:
- Scenic Course: Take off on a scenic race, clearing your mind and body as you move forward, step by step.
- Affirmations Await: Cross the finish line and head to our New Year Mantra Board.
- Collect Inspiration: Here, you’ll collect a positive affirmation to inspire your journey ahead.
- New Year Energy: Start the new year with fresh energy, purpose, and gratitude!
