About the Visalia PAL Resolution 5K Run and 1.5 Mile Walk
This is a New Year's resolution race in Visalia, with a road run and a shorter walk option for those who want something gentler. The course runs near Garden and Main Street in the heart of the city. Proceeds go to local youth programs, including a summer camp staffed by police officers and a boxing and bike repair program.
Packet pickup runs the day before at the Wittman Center on Pearl Street, with race-morning pickup available as well. Registration also opens on-site the morning of the race, right at the start area near Garden and Main Street.

The Visalia PAL Resolution 5K Run and 1.5 Mile Walk has been held every year since at least 2019. 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 Oct 18, 2026.
