About the race
Out With the Old - In With the New is a two-day New Year running event in Rochester, Michigan. Based at the Rochester Avon Recreation Authority Building (500 E 2nd St), it offers an Out With the Old 5K on December 31 and an In With the New 5K on January 1, with an option to run both days. The mostly flat course runs along the Clinton River Trail with rail-trail and dirt sections behind Bloomer Park; directions switch on the second day to feel like a different course.
Highlights include connectable medals, a cupless racing option, the World Famous T‑Shirt Trade, light snacks, waffles and mimosas, top age-group awards, and a 270-per-day cap, plus a Neighborhood House charity partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
