About the Lebanon Borough New Year's 5K Run & Walk
The course runs through Lebanon Borough on a chip-timed route, starting in the late morning on New Year's Day. It draws a mix of people shaking off the holiday and those looking to start the year with something purposeful. The surrounding area is quiet suburban countryside, and the pace of the morning matches that.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local fitness outfitter, with a shorter window race morning as a backup. After finishing, most people head across the highway to Sunken Silo Beer Works, where top finishers get a drink voucher and the crowd tends to linger.

The Lebanon Borough New Year's 5K Run & Walk has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
