The Experience
The San Diego Resolution Run, now in its 19th year, takes over Mission Bay Park every January for a scenic half-marathon along the water. With a field of roughly 343 runners from 24 states, it's an intimate event that still draws a national crowd — and about 11% of participants come back year after year.
The course winds through the flat, paved paths of the park, offering uninterrupted views of the bay and the San Diego skyline. It's a fast, straightforward route, ideal for runners chasing a personal best or starting their year on a strong note. The atmosphere is low-key and community-driven, with volunteers and locals cheering along the course.
Post-race, finishers gather by the water to celebrate a fresh start. The Resolution Run isn't flashy, but it delivers exactly what a New Year's race should: a clean, refreshing course, a welcoming crowd, and the perfect excuse to kick off 365 days of running.
