Resolute Runner 5k

Resolute Runner 5k is a 5K held in Arvada, US, in January. It is a New Year kick-off run themed around starting the year with some resolve, and it starts at Johnny Roberts Memorial Park in west Arvada, Colorado.

The route follows the Ralston Creek Trail through scenic terrain. The layout works well for friends and family watching from the side. After seeing runners leave the start, spectators can walk less than a third of a mile to catch them at two further points along the trail before they reach the finish.

A local food bank, Community Table, which serves Arvada, is the charity partner for the event. The distance is a standard 5K, a manageable choice for anyone wanting to begin the new year with a first run, and live GPS tracking is available so that those watching can follow progress.
