About the Resolution Run at City Station

The Resolution Run is a New Year's Day race in Carrollton, starting and finishing at City Station, a community facility that opens early so runners have a warm place to gather before the gun. The race raises money for people experiencing homelessness in the area, so there is a sense of purpose behind it beyond just the miles. Age group and masters awards go out for the main distance.

City Station stays open through the finish, which gives the morning a settled feel rather than a tent-and-parking-lot scramble. Race-day registration and packet pickup both happen there on the morning of the race, so you can sort out your bib without making a special trip the day before.

Common Questions About the Resolution Run at City Station

Will I finish last at the Resolution Run at City Station?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:05, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Resolution Run at City Station a good first 5K?

A field of 217 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Resolution Run at City Station?

The 5K winner ran 18:26 while the median finisher took 35:59. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
