About the Resolution Run

The course runs trails and pathways around La Center, with enough variation between the shorter and longer options to give either one a real workout feel. The race supports the high school volleyball and track programs, and student athletes are out on course using their bibs to raise money. It starts and finishes at the high school.

After you cross the line, the cafeteria is open for a pancake and sausage breakfast. It is a donation-supported spread, so bring a little cash. Awards go to overall leaders and age group winners.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Resolution Run

Will I finish last at the Resolution Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:53, 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 a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 200 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Resolution Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:00 while the median finisher took 37:12. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
