About the New Year's Day Fun Run & Walk

The route runs a "W" shape out from the Fleet Feet store, mixing sidewalks and streets. Runners choose how far they go, turning back at different landmarks depending on the distance they want. Pace groups head out in waves, so the start stays orderly without feeling formal. Dogs and strollers are welcome, though the mixed terrain is worth keeping in mind.

The event starts at the Fleet Feet store in Bloomington, which opens a bit early that morning with a sale running before the run begins. Pre-registration closes before the start, but walk-up participants can sign a waiver on-site. No check-in is needed if you pre-registered.
