The annual Wild Earth Resolution Run is back and its going to be 
than ever!
We are still based at Carrara/Emerald Lakes but will be shifting across the road to Alabaster Fields right next door to our previous venue at Emerald Lakes Golf Club! This means some exciting new courses with distance changes and new elements!
This year we retain two junior events, but both are slightly longer than previous editions and for the first time; the longer race (2.5km); the Essential Energy Solar Dash, will include something for the competitive kids with prizes for overall placegetters and for age group winners. Out shorter race; the Emerald Lakes Golf Club Junior Bolt, will retain its focus on pure fun and participation. All participants, in both events, get the same choice of inclusions, there's just a little more for the fast and focussed kids to vie for! 
The 'mygc physio' 4km and 'Run Resilience' Pram Push return but on new courses, whilst the longer races are exactly that; longer! The 'fisiocrem' event has traditionally been 8km but shifts out to 9km whilst the 'Run the World' event is now 13km instead of the traditional 12km.
For 2024, we are offering a choice of inclusions;
Option 1: includes 
sunglasses valued at $49.95 (with five (5) models to choose from, including something for the kids and those with smaller faces!
Option 2: Event medal and sports mesh run cap (choice of white and blue) Can't decide?! Well the good news is you can have it all for just an extra $20! If you're registering close to race day, we have been inundated with entries and our medals are running low in some packages so if you can't do without (and they are awesome medals) you can choose the same package and the medal will be mailed to you late in January/early Feb. once we order more and they arrive! 
Of course, it's not New Years Eve without fireworks so the FREE Wild Earth Community Carnival is back with jumping castles, Gecko Sports, Sparky Do Dah and other free kids activities thanks to Gold Coast City Council and our family-friendly 7.30pm fireworks display. 
There will be food trucks aplenty, live music and our pop up bar (no BYO). And with the wide-open spaces of Alabaster Fields, you will be able to bring down the picnic blankets and camp chairs, spread out and relax and park right next to our new event precinct!
So join us for the 2024 Wild Earth Resolution Run and sign off on 2024 in a fun, active and healthy way amongst friends and family!
Venue
The entire event shall be conducted at the Alabaster Fields (East), immediately across the road from our supporting partners (and previous hosts); Emerald Lakes Golf Club on the Corner of Alabaster Drive and Broadbeach/Nerang Road.
There will be event specific off-street parking located off Alabaster Drive (opposite to Metricon Stadium). This is the parking for the event and has capacity for over 500 vehicles. Parking here is via a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to our charity; Rotary Ashmore. Additional street parking is available at Hold Coast Sports precinct and participants can cross safely at the lights at Alabaster Drive.
Parking in the Golf Club itself is reserved for Club patrons, we do ask that event patrons take advantage of the parking provided immediately adjacent to the venue.
This will be our first year at our new venue and we look forward to welcoming even more participants to the Resolution Run and members of the local community to the Wild Earth Community Carnival!

Wild Earth Community Carnival
The running isn’t necessary; it’s just another aspect of this fantastic community celebration of New Year’s Eve. There’ll be jumping castles, giant games, live music, entertainment and activities for the kids - and of course fireworks! There’s food trucks to feed the masses and a bar with soft drinks and water for the kids, and some of the finer drops for the adults!
Pack your camp chairs and picnic blankets and settle in for a great evening. Entry is free with thanks to our fantastic partners including Wild Earth, Cr. Bob La Castra, Emerald Lakes Golf Club and we as your hosts of course, Trail Trips & Events!
