2023 is just days away, and we are ready to start the new year off right! With renewed excitement for what’s to come, January offers everything to reset, reconnect, and turn the winter into an adventure!
The new year invites us to set new goals and welcome new challenges. It’s a clean slate with a calendar to fill. Even though the new year represents different things to different people, we all share one thing in common; we have the next 365 days to see the things we want to see, do the things we want to do, and become who we want to become.
Family
Ever thought about running into a freezing lake in the middle of winter? We haven’t either, but if you’re going to do it, you might as well do it for a good cause. Established 20 years ago, The Polar Bear Challenge is a charity event raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by challenging the daring and the brave to take the plunge into the frigid water at Lucky Peak Reservoir. Pull up those brave bootstraps and help make a much-needed wish come true!

Stay Active
The most common new years resolution is to live healthier. There are many ways to pursue the path of healthy living, and whatever the best ways are for you, we encourage them! If you want to jump in on the first day of 2023, the New Years Day Run at Celebration Park might be exactly what you are looking for.
Whether you want to go for a run, ride a bike, take a yoga class, or bundle up for a walk– the only thing that matters is that you start, and we are here to cheer you on!
