New Years Resolution Ramble

January 1, 2021 - the dawn of a new year with new resolutions and a hope to return to normal racing and events in the future.  While we can't have a regular race we can keep moving forward and keep fit.

The New Year's Resolution Ramble is your chance to kick off 2021 with a resolve to keep moving, get fit or stay fit. 

What sports/activities can I do? 

Here's the fun part - you can pretty much do anything!

• Walk
• Jog or Run
• Ride a Bike (outside or stationary)
• Swim
• SUP - prone, standup, or whatever!

For example, you might choose to swim a 10K, bike your own challenge distance, and run a progressive marathon within the month.  You are not limited to one activity and you can mix and match. So set your goals and plot your course.

Who can do this?

Anyone!  Seasoned athlete, beginner or aspiring swimmer, runner, cyclist, or some doing rehab from an injury.  No experience required and it's a great activity for the whole family.  There's also a team option for co-workers, families, neighborhoods, etc.

What are you waiting for?

Step 1 - Commit and Choose Your distance.  You can choose from a 5K, 10K, Half or Full Marathon, or you can pick your own distance. You can also choose to do all of them for the same price and fill up your month with different activities. and distances.  For example a 5K in week one, a 10K in week two, and so on.  If you've always wanted to do a full marathon you can do that or you can split it up over a several days as a progressive marathon.  The possibilities for how you do this are virtually limitless.

Even if you've never run or walked much you can do this - just do it a little bit at a time and you'll amaze yourself at how far you can go.  You've got the whole month of January to work on your goals. For example, if you are rehabbing from an injury and you choose to walk just a half mile each day you can do a 5K in a week.  As you get stronger you walk longer.

Step 2 - Register and Share your choice with your friends on Facebook.  Get them to join you. Its always more fun with friends.

Step 3 - Join the Resolution Ramble Facebook (@ResolutionRamble) to share your experiences, meet up with other Ramblers to get hints and encouragement. Find new training partners.

Step 4 - Join our weekly Zoom calls where we'll be able to meet and greet and listen to some really cool speakers.  We'll end the month with an online wine-tasting party!

What happens after I register?

You'll get connected to an amazing community to Ramblers doing the same thing.  That means you'll get face to face with some folks you haven't seen for awhile and you'll get to meet some new people.  Who know, maybe you'll get meet some new training partners. We'll give you access to our weekly zoom sessions to keep you connected and motivated.  You'll be able to join our Facebook Page and upload your photos and/or share your photos on this site to share.

How do I keep track of my results?

You'll have a step by step guide to entering your results online.  Each day you do an activity you will log your results and get a tally of total miles for each activity.  There are even some really cool GPS tools we'll be making available so you can see where you rambled every day.

Is there a charity partner?

Yes.  We will give Rotary Charities and Grants a portion of the registration proceeds, plus you'll be able to donate directly by clicking on that "DONATE" box at the top if you have a bit more to give.
