From the organizers
We’re closing out the year the best way we know how, outside, in community, walking, running...together!
Back again, the Third Annual New Year’s Eve Art Run brings together community members from across the city for one final celebration of movement and connection in 2026.
We’ll meet at the Leon Sullivan Building at Broad and Master, on December 31st at 6 PM and hit a 3-mile walk/run or a 5-mile run, with both routes designed to spell out “2027” once the we're done. This isn’t just a route, it’s a symbol of transition, of shared miles and fresh starts.
