About the Resolution Spirits Run
The course runs through Independence Grove, a forest preserve in Libertyville with paved paths and open water views. The terrain is gentle throughout, and the route works well whether you are pushing a pace or just moving. It is a New Year's Day-adjacent race, so the crowd tends to be people shaking off the holiday and logging their first miles of the year.
The post-race setup leans into the celebration side of things, with a party at the finish. Packet pickup and start logistics are centered at the preserve, which has parking on site.
