5K Resolution Run presented by Mount Nittany Health
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 Mount Nittany Health as the race’s presenting sponsor.
We encourage runners–and spectators–to wear costumes. Over the years we’ve seen men wearing everything from Speedos to tuxedos and women dressed as everything from bees to trees. Don’t pass up this chance to make a splash on social media! Who knows….your Resolution Run costume may be your ticket to a life as an Instagram influencer! It could happen!
The run uses chip timing provided by Runner’s High.
Registration fee is $25 if postmarked on or before December 22nd. Thereafter registration is $28. Special incentive for runners ages 19 and under only: $15 for pre-race registration, $18 thereafter (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.
