How fast is it?
Faster than most California 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:23, against 30:43 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 4 percent faster.
- 10K: About average for California 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2024 10K field finished under 56:35, against 56:15 in a typical California 10K, so times here are about average.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Typical race-day weather
Around January 1 the day usually runs from 36°F at dawn to 49°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 51% of days. Cold snaps dip to 28°F and hot years reach 58°F.

From the organizers
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Resolve2Run, a 5K/10K Run/Walk. Our event will be on January 1, 2027 beginning at Chicago Park School and winding through beautiful country backroads. Resolve2Run has become the second largest 5K/10K in the Nevada County running community. This will be the 15th year of this popular event.
Our goal in this run is multi-faceted. We want to encourage the community toward better health and lifestyle habits that will last all year. The funds raised benefit the Peardale-Chicago Park Firefighters Association, Chicago Park 4-H Club, and Chicago Park School PTA. We would like you to join us in meeting these important goals!
