Redemption Race - 5K Virtual Run

A New Race, A New Reason JANUARY 1, 2027 The Redemption Race is about personal resilience.  It is for anyone ready to begin the year by showing up for themselves. No perfect pace required. No fitness level required. No explanation required. Just show up.   YOUR YEAR STARTS HERE There is something powerful about standing at a starting line on the first morning of the year. Everyone begins at zero. The experienced runner. The first-time walker. The person chasing a PR. The person trying to get active again. The person who simply decided that this year would begin differently. On January 1, we start together. THE EXPERIENCE It is a celebration of fresh starts, second chances, comeback stories, and the decision to keep moving forward. Expect an energetic race-day atmosphere, premium event gear, a meaningful finisher medal, music, community, and plenty of moments worth remembering. Whether you finish in 20 minutes or 60, the accomplishment is the same: You showed up.   THE 21-DAY SHOW-UP CHALLENGE You don’t have to wait until January 1 to begin. Registered participants will have the opportunity to join our free 21-Day Show-Up Challenge, designed to help you build momentum before race morning. No complicated training plan. No daily mileage requirement. No pressure to be perfect. Just 21 days of intentionally showing up for yourself. Walk. Run. Stretch. Lift. Move. Start building the habit before you ever reach the starting line.
