Grievances & Gratitude Run – Not a Resolution - Just a Reset 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon by Califlow Runs
About the Event
Grievances & Gratitude Run
Release. Move. Begin Again.
Skip the resolutions. Start the year with intention, movement, and joy.
Grievances & Gratitude is a feel-good New Year run designed to help you exhale, reset, and step into 2026 lighter—surrounded by community, movement, and positive energy. This is about letting go of what no longer serves you and making space for gratitude, clarity, and forward momentum.
You can write down everything you’re ready to release… or just one thing. You can take part in the experience—or simply show up and run. However you choose to participate, this event meets you exactly where you are.
Every participant receives a finisher medal, and the option to take part in our signature Let Go & Affirmation Experience—because new beginnings don’t have to be loud or rigid. Sometimes they just need movement and space to breathe.
How It Works Let Go Before You Go Before the run, write down anything you’re ready to release—grievances, frustrations, stress, or heavy thoughts. Place them into our “goodbye” containers and symbolically leave that energy behind.
Run Free Head out on a scenic course and move your body with intention. Run or walk at your own pace, clear your mind, and let each step carry you forward.
Affirmations Await After crossing the finish line, visit our New Year Mantra Board and select a positive affirmation to guide you into the year ahead. Leave with gratitude, purpose, and renewed energy.
This isn’t just a race—it’s a moment. A reset. A fresh start grounded in movement and community.
