The Resolution Run 5K - Ave Maria

The Resolution Run 5K - Ave Maria is held in Ave Maria, Florida, on January 2, 2027, and starts at 8:00 a.m. It is a single-distance road event, so the whole field runs the same 3.1 miles at the same time.

An 8:00 a.m. start in early January is about as pleasant as Florida racing gets, with cool air and a course you can push on. The distance suits a wide range of runners: it is a realistic first race for someone who has been running a few months, and a good early-season time trial for anyone with a spring half marathon on the calendar. If you want to race it rather than run it, add one weekly session of short, fast repeats in the month beforehand and keep the rest of your running easy.
