Description

Sleep in a little, then kick off 2026 with our New Year’s Day Fun Run! We’ll head from Riverside Park toward downtown, and when you reach the top of Monument Terrace, celebrate the new year with 26 push-ups or jumping jacks to symbolize the start of 2026.

Start the new year the best way we know how — running, smiling, and celebrating together!

January 1st – 9:00 AM – Riverside Park

Welcome to Lynchburg Macaroni Kid! I've lived in Lynchburg for many years and love it here. I'm mom to five young adults who now have families of their own. We stay busy with kid activities and love spending time outdoors. When it's time for a road trip, we're usually headed to the beach, the Blue Ridge Mountains or out of state to visit family. At home, you'll find me in the garden or at the computer, adding great local events to the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid calendar.
