THE ANNUAL — NYE Reflection Run (…and Walk!)

Get ready to kick off the new year with a fun run and walk to reflect on your goals and accomplishments at THE ANNUAL — NYE Reflection Run!

ABOUT THE EVENT

Renee Buckingham has been hosting her NYE Reflection Run for four years in a row, and this year… we’ve levelled up.

Two cities. Three different route options. One community moving with intention.

THE ANNUAL is a free, feel-good New Year’s Eve morning created to help you reflect on the year that was and begin 2026 grounded, clear, and connected.

Run or walk at your own pace — all levels and abilities welcome.
