Newton, NC
Entry is $25 now and rises to $30 after Nov 2, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course winds through downtown Newton and the streets around it, so there is actual scenery to look at rather than a parking lot loop. The Newton Recreation Center anchors the start, and the surrounding neighborhood streets keep things open and readable underfoot. It draws runners and walkers both, and the new year timing gives the morning a certain easy energy.
