Newport Resolution Run

Welcome 2026 with a Splash!

Kick off the New Year with the Newport Resolution Run & Polar Bear Plunge—an unforgettable way to embrace 2026! Choose from three exhilarating races:

🏃‍♂️ Half Marathon – A thrilling mix of flat, fast pavement and challenging single-track trails. Start and finish on flat terrain, but prepare for a 10K of trails in between that will test your endurance. The half marathon has a 2:45 cutoff time for full course support, but we’ll be cheering you across the finish line no matter what!

🏃‍♀️ 10K & 5K – Flat, fast, and perfect for setting your New Year’s PR!

The Ultimate Finish Line Experience

The race concludes at the breathtaking Pacific Ocean shoreline. And here’s the twist: 🎉 Celebrate your finish by plunging into the icy Pacific for a Polar Bear Plunge! The plunge is optional, but the memories will last forever. (Prefer to stay dry? That’s okay too!)
