About the Run Into the New Year
The course runs through Shorewood and into the surrounding area, taking in neighborhood streets during the quieter stretch of winter. This is part of a longer series of winter races spread across the season, so the crowd tends to include people who have already run together before and treat it more like a regular group outing than a one-off event.

The Run Into the New Year has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
