Runners make their way through Red Mountain Park trails during last year’s Resolution Run.
There’s no need to wait for Jan. 1 to start a New Year’s resolution. The Birmingham Track Club’s third annual Resolution Run at Red Mountain Park offers 3-, 5- and 10-mile races open to all ages on Dec. 28.
“Participating in the Resolution Run is a fun way to ring in the New Year because it is such a unique way to celebrate — with a sense of challenge and commitment,” said Mike Mahon, president of the Friends of Red Mountain Park. “Whether you want to leave something behind in 2013 or resolve for something new in the coming year, the beautiful park trails provide an experience that inspires and renews.”
While the event is family friendly, trails include rocky terrain unsuitable for strollers.
A donation of $15 or more is requested but not required to participate. Funds raised benefit Friends of Red Mountain Park, a volunteer organization responsible for helping to maintain the park’s grounds.
The first 500 people to register will receive T-shirts. Following the run, the Birmingham Track Club will award door prizes. Parking will be clearly marked along Frankfurt Drive.
Mahon encourages all to participate.
“We hope everyone will want to start the new year on a positive foot here at Red Mountain Park,” he said.
