Make your first finish line of 2027 your best one yet!
Join us on January 1, 2027, at 10:00am for the 13th Annual New Year's Resolution Run 5k & 10k presented by Hunter Subaru.
Kick off the new year with an unforgettable run through the heart of downtown Asheville! Whether you're chasing a personal best, starting a new fitness goal, or simply celebrating with family and friends, there's no better way to welcome 2027.
The scenic course winds through vibrant downtown streets and charming historic neighborhoods, with 10k participants enjoying a beautiful tour through the iconic Grove Park area. Then, finish your race in true Asheville style as you make your way up North Market Street—the city's last remaining block of historic cobblestone brick pavers—for a memorable finish to your first race of the year.
We welcome families and participants of all ages to come walk or run their way to completing their first resolution! Bring warm layers of clothes, lace up your shoes, and make 2027 a year of intention, inner strength and power!

Did you register to participate in person but can't make it on race day? You have options!
We understand that plans can change! If you're unable to participate in your registered event, we offer several options to help, including switching to the virtual event, deferring your entry, or requesting a change in race distance. These options provide flexibility while helping offset the administrative time and costs associated with registration changes.
#1 VIRTUAL EVENT: You can transfer your registration to the virtual event at any point before the start of the race. The virtual event gives you the flexibility to train and race from wherever you call home, on your schedule. Plus, you still get the awesome race swag! Complete your race at a time and place that works best for you—whether that's your neighborhood streets, favorite trail, or a destination run. Submit your results online and celebrate your accomplishment with runners from across the country. Virtual swag will be shipped after the event. Email support@idaph.net to request the transfer.
NOTE: Transfers to the virtual event within two weeks prior to the event will incur a $12 charge to cover packaging and shipping.
#2 DEFERRAL: If you're unable to participate, you may request a deferral up to 15 days before race day. Requests received after this deadline cannot be accommodated.
Deferral Fees
Half Marathon & Marathon: $25
5K, 8K & 10K: $15
To request a deferral, simply purchase the Deferral option from the Race Store on the registration platform.
Once your request is processed, you'll receive a digital iDaph Events gift card equal to your registration fee (less processing and service fees.) The gift card may be used to register for any iDaph-owned Signature Event or given to a friend or family member for use toward their registration. Gift Cards are not redeemable for client/partner events.
Participants who purchased the pre-event shipping option are not eligible for a deferral once their race packet has been shipped. Packets are typically packed for shipment three weeks prior to race day.
Any eligible additional products or add-ons purchased with your registration will be refunded when your transfer or deferral is processed.
#3 RACE DISTANCE CHANGE: You may switch from one distance to another within the same event. There will be no refunds for any price difference when dropping down. When moving up, you will be required to pay the price difference before the transfer is made. Participants who purchased the pre-event shipping option and had their race bibs mailed in advance will be required to attend packet pickup to swap their bib. Email support@idaph.net to request the change in distance.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS: Transfers between participants are prohibited. Running with another participant's bib creates serious safety and timing issues. Emergency responders and race officials rely on the registration information associated with each bib, including emergency contacts and medical information. If someone is wearing another person's bib, medical care could be delayed or based on incorrect information, and the wrong emergency contact could be notified.
Bib swapping also compromises the integrity of race results and awards. If the registered participant and the person wearing the bib are different ages or genders, overall and age group results can be incorrect, affecting multiple participants.
Participants found running with another person's bib will be automatically disqualified. Individuals participating without registering ("bandits") or wearing another participant's bib will be banned from future iDaph Events.
We suggest that if you want to ‘give’ your entry to a friend/family member that you use the ‘DEFERRAL’ option. You will receive an iDaph Gift card and you can gift this to your friend or family member to get signed up.
REFUNDS: Our team begins planning and investing in your race experience months before race day. Expenses such as permits, insurance, medals, shirts, timing, supplies, and staffing are incurred well in advance of the event. For this reason, all registrations are non-refundable.
In the event the race is canceled, postponed, modified, or impacted by severe weather, natural disasters, public safety concerns, government actions, or other circumstances beyond our control, refunds will not be issued.
We understand that plans can change and injuries happen. While refunds are not available, participants have options such as moving to a different race distance, switching to the virtual event, or deferring their registration in accordance with the event's registration policies and deadlines.
CANCELLATION & EVENT MODIFICATION: The safety of our participants, volunteers, spectators, and community is our highest priority. If circumstances beyond our control—including, but not limited to, severe weather, natural disasters, public safety concerns, government actions, emergency situations, course conditions, or the inability to obtain or maintain required permits—affect the event, iDaph Events reserves the right to modify, delay, shorten, postpone, cancel, or convert the event to a virtual experience.
Should the event be converted to a virtual event, all in-person registrations will automatically be transferred to the virtual option, and participant swag will be mailed at no additional charge.
