Lace up for an invigorating start to your year at the Resolution Run Series, taking place on February 7, 2026, in scenic Lakewood, WA. This popular winter running event, hosted at Fort Steilacoom Park, offers a choice of 15K, 10K, and 5K distances, catering to a range of running goals. The course is renowned for its flat and fast USATF Certified 5K loop, primarily paved (around 80% to 95%) with sections of packed trail, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests amidst the picturesque park scenery. Runners consistently praise the well-organized event, ample volunteers, and convenient amenities.

Participants will find aid stations well-stocked with water, electrolytes, and accessible restrooms at the completion of each 5K loop, ensuring support throughout your chosen distance. The Fort Steilacoom Resolution Series distinguishes itself with a welcoming atmosphere, providing covered shelters and even portable heaters if typical race day conditions, with highs around 48F and lows around 37F, dip below 45 degrees. Finishing two or more events in the series earns you a custom finisher medal, making it a rewarding experience for those looking to stay motivated through the colder months.

The race kicks off with a combined event start at 9:00 AM, with packet pickup and day-of registration opening an hour prior at the conveniently located Fort Steilacoom Park, which offers plenty of on-site parking. Strollers are welcome on the course, though pets are not permitted. Free downloadable event photos also allow you to capture and share your accomplishment.
