The New Year's Day 5K is an exciting and wonderful way to start the new year. This race is unique in several ways that separate it from other races in town. Of course the fact that it comes on New Year's Day makes it unique, but the main difference is the award ceremony which awards the top 100 males and top 100 females crossing the finish line. Awards are also given to the oldest and youngest runners and top male and female as well.

Another special part of the race is the amazing continental breakfast served by our great sponsor Calhoun's. This race is a family oriented race and will bring runners of all levels, as well as walkers. The long sleeve shirt given at this race has become a favorite among runners who have run this race before.

The out and back course along the banks of the River is known to be one of the flattest in town. This race will kick off the 2013 KTC Grand Prix Series and the exciting Team Competition grand prix as well. Bring your families and friends for a great way to start the new year and lots of fun and good food. -- Eddie Reymond, Race Director

New Year's Day can be quite eccentric, as evidenced by the snowfall a couple years ago and the mild temps from several other years. Dress wisely.
