General Race Information
Welcome to the 2nd annual running of The Starting Block Resolution 5k Run/Walk. We are once again planning to host TWO Resolution Runs, one from EACH of our Starting Block store locations. We deisigned these runs to say thanks to our customers and get you moving early in the new year!
We will continue the "Gender Challenge", adding an exciting twist to the start format. Last year, both races came down to less than 5 seconds!
We will utilize a Gender Equalizer start format. We are also giving each entrant a $20 Starting Block Gift Card with each $25 Entry. Try to find that anywhere else!
What a great way to start the new year!
THIS IS THE PERFECT FITNESS GIFT!
Sign up a friend to run with you (only $25) and then give them the $20 Gift Card as a gift, or keep for yourself!
