Whether it's a continued re-expansion of the running community or just a burst of healthy New Year's resolutions taking effect, New Year's Day in Raleigh had great turnout for its running events. The RITNY Run 5k, which started at midnight on New Year's Day, had just over 100 participants -- 100 had been the goal -- and the North Carolina Roadrunners Club's own Resolution Run 5k at NC State's Centennial Campus had 323 official finishers, not counting bandits and entries in the kids' races. (News 14's coverage) (The 2008 RR5k, in much colder weather, had 260 finishers.) Hopefully all the folks who started their 2010 with a healthy start (including me) will keep it up throughout the whole year!
Over in Durham, the Carolina Godiva club's 8k New Year's Day Run through Duke Forest also included nearly 100 participants. (pictures)
And one of my favorite race names, the Hair of the Dog 5k on New Year's Day in Virginia Beach, included a formal-wear division for those just getting in from their NYE parties.
Have a great running year!
