This is a small town USA 5k. There are actually 4 races in Marion NC put on throughout the year this being the last one. Marion is a family friendly up & coming town. It's so cute! The race starts at 9pm and people are encouraged to dress festive. Lights, tinsel, beads. Anything goes. The course is hilly but has some good downhills to balance it out. There' s lots of support along the course that runs through neighborhoods & around the quaint little town. The finish line is set up near the local brewery where you can cash in your free beer ticket after the race. Afterwards Marion hosts a New Years Eve party so stick around!
It's a really fun nighttime race & the race director is great. She's an avid runner herself and makes sure everything is top notch.
There's tons of parking and the city boast a real bathroom close to the start line so that's nice.
The Resolution Run will be on my families 5ks to run list every year!
