Event Overview
The Wild Earth NYE Resolution Run is held on Wednesday 31 December 2026 at Emerald Lakes Golf Club on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The event offers 13km, 9km and 4km options, plus junior races over 2.5km and 1.25km, and a 4km pram-push category. The route loops around the Emerald Lakes Golf Course and extends onto surrounding lakeside and wetlands paths, with wave starts used if required.
What the Course Demands
This event is described as flat and designed for steady running, with longer entries continuing onto an out-and-back lakeside section. Aid stations are planned at intervals no greater than 2.5km, with water provided and additional drink mix listed for the 9km and 13km events at selected points. With late-afternoon starts, pacing and awareness of changing light can be relevant for those out longer.
Who This Event Suits Best
It suits runners who want a short-to-mid distance option to finish the year, including families using the junior events and runners returning from a break via the 4km. The 9km and 13km will appeal to athletes looking to run continuously at a controlled effort on a flatter course. The pram-push category is appropriate for participants seeking an inclusive, paced run format.
