The New Year’s 5K Relay & Kids’ Mile has something for everyone! Whether you’re a casual fun-runner, a competitive miler, a parent supporting your future Olympian, or you just run for tacos, you’ll love this quintessentially Austin race at historic Pease Park.
5K Relay
Teams of 3 run 1 mile each along the Shoal Creek Trail on an out-and-back course through
Pease Park and Live Oak Meadows. Event categories include Competitive and Open & Family divisions.
Kids’ Mile Races
The Kids’ Mile races are what make this DPF’s signature event!
Kids’ races include: 1-mile elementary age-group heats, a 500M pre-k run, and a 25M toddler trot.
All kids’ races take place in the heart of the park, and are the heart of this event.
All participants and their families are invited to stay for the 6th Annual Memorial Mile Walk
that concludes the morning festivities.
Your registration benefits the David Phillips Foundation's free after-school sports & rec programs in Austin-area Title-I elementary schools.
Let's run, and LET'S PLAY, to kick off 2025!
