New Year's Day 8K

New Year's Day 5K & 8K is a family-friendly, no-frills race held at Roegner Park in Auburn, Washington (601 Oravetz Road Southeast). Participants choose a 5K or 8K run/walk on a paved, stroller-friendly trail. The event is chip-timed, making it easy to track progress as you kick off the new year.

In keeping with the organizer’s sustainability goals, it operates cupless and pinless: water is provided, but no cups; runners should bring their own pins or purchase reusable BibBoards for a small fee. The atmosphere emphasizes accessibility and goal-setting, offering a straightforward, enjoyable start to the year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
