lululemon Run With the Roses 5K
The lululemon Run With the Roses 5K takes place on December 31 in Pasadena, CA and follows the iconic Rose Parade route. The event is organized as an evening run that occurs alongside New Year’s Eve activities in the city.
An optional "Beat the Countdown" challenge invites participants to attempt a sub-20-minute 5K. This challenge has limited spots, requires validation from past race data to be eligible, carries no additional entry cost, and will have awards. Awards will also be provided for the general start.
Bib pick up and a retail pop-up are located at the lululemon 5K Run with the Roses Pop Up, 132 W Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA; dates and hours are listed as coming soon. Participants must present ID to collect a bib and must be 21 or older with valid ID to receive a wristband for alcoholic beverages; wristbands are non-transferable and must be kept on through the end of the event. A friend may pick up a race packet with the participant’s confirmation email, but they cannot receive the wristband on behalf of another person.
