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 walkers are welcome to join us for one of the most popular events of First Night State College, the annual Resolution Run 5K race. This year’s course will be the same as last year and will take participants onto the University Park campus, following the traditional, speedy route you all know and love.

Walkers will begin behind runners and will be asked to remain on the sidewalks for the duration of the 5K.

Even if you aren’t a runner or walker in the race, 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. We are delighted to welcome back Mount Nittany Health as the race’s presenting sponsor.

Costumes are highly encouraged—so let your imagination run wild. Over the years we’ve seen everything from Speedos to tuxedos, and from buzzing bees to walking trees. It’s your chance to turn heads, light up social media, and maybe even take home a fun best costume prize.

The run uses chip timing provided by Runner’s High.

Registration fee is $25 if postmarked on or before December 22nd. Thereafter, registration is $30 until December 30 and is $35 on the day of the race, December 31.  Special incentive for runners ages 19 and under only: $15 for pre-race registration, $20 until December 30 and is $25 on the day of the race, December 31 (note: FNSC Button not included in this package).

Runners can register online here , 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 St. Paul’s United Methodist Church basketball court which will also serve as baggage storage during the race.
