Looking Ahead to the New Year

As the New Year approaches, it's a natural time to reflect, reset, and set new goals. Whether you’re aiming to run your first 5k, conquer a marathon, or simply embrace a healthier lifestyle, this is the perfect moment to focus on what’s ahead and celebrate what you've achieved.

Running offers a sense of structure, achievement, and joy, and there's no better way to kickstart 2025 than by lacing up your trainers and hitting the road. The New Year represents a clean slate—an opportunity to map out a training plan, explore new events, and enjoy the process of improvement, one step at a time.

At RunThrough, we’re excited to help you make those goals a reality. Our calendar for January is packed with incredible events to keep you motivated and inspired. Here’s what’s coming up in the first two weeks of 2025:

• 4th January: Start the year strong with the Run Tatton 5k and 10k or the popular Battersea Half Marathon.
• 5th January: Join us at the iconic Victoria Park for a 5k, 10k, or Half Marathon.
• 11th January: Take on the Olympic Park 5k and 10k, a perfect way to soak up the energy of London’s sporting history.
• 12th January: Experience the variety of Run Heaton Park, featuring distances for all abilities, including a Junior Race.
• 12th January: Escape to nature with the RunThrough Trails Richmond Park Half Marathon, a trail event set against stunning greenery.

Each event is a chance to connect with the running community, challenge yourself, and start the year on a positive, active note.

But beyond events, the New Year is about celebrating the journey. Set your sights on small, achievable milestones, focus on consistency, and make time to enjoy the run itself. Running isn’t just about crossing finish lines; it’s about the lessons, growth, and joy you experience along the way.

So, as we look ahead to 2025, take a moment to set your intentions, whether they involve new personal bests, exploring new running routes, or simply making running a part of your routine. Let’s make this year one of progress, positivity, and plenty of memorable miles.

Where will 2025 take you?
