Are you ready to hit the ground running in the new year?
The annual New Year’s Resolution Run 5k & 10k presented by Hunter Subaru is January 1!
What better way to celebrate the start of a new year than running in the heart of downtown Asheville? The race course takes you through the bustling streets of downtown and charming neighborhoods, including the Grove Park area on the 10k route. And, of course, we’ve saved the best for last! The course will take you up North Market Street, the only remaining block of unique, historic, cobblestone brick pavers in Asheville for an exciting finish.
We welcome families and participants of all ages to come walk or run their way to completing their first resolution! Bring warm layers of clothes, lace up your shoes, and make 2026 a year of intention, inner strength and power!

This was a last minute sign up for me – I’m trying to get a race in every state and I didn’t have New Years plans so I decided to hit Asheville up. I’ve always wanted to go and the city and this race did not disappoint! One of the best produced local races I’ve ever done, signs everywhere, helpful volunteers to guide and provide encouragement, etc. It was a brutally cold/windy morning, and the hills were more than I expected, but would totally do this race again if given the chance!
