New Year’s Eve Art Run
About this race
We’re closing out the year the best way we know how, outside, in community, walking, running...together!
Back for year two, the Second Annual New Year’s Eve Art Run brings together community members from across the city for one final celebration of movement and connection in 2025.
We’ll meet at the parking lot directly across from our usual spot, Temple Sports Complex, on December 31st at 6 PM and hit a 3-mile walk/run or a 5-mile run, with both routes designed to spell out “2026” once the we're done. This isn’t just a route, it’s a symbol of transition, of shared miles and fresh starts.
Whether you’re running, walking, rolling, or pushing a stroller, this is for everyone, even/especially if this is your first time linking up with us. No pressure, no pace too fast or slow. Just bring your lights, your sparkles, your people, and maybe some champagne for the pain as we wrap things up with a toast to the miles to come 🍾🥂.
