For 45 percent of Americans, bringing in the new year calls for more than bringing out the noisemakers and watching the New York Times Square celebration; it’s also the perfect time to enact new goals through new year resolutions, according to the History Channel. To join in on the scramble to determine and maintain a new years resolution, this year Bearing News is hosting a New Years Resolution Race, starting on Jan. 1 and ending the last day before spring break commences, March 25. The hosts of this year’s New Years Resolution Race are Rochita Ghosh and Alice Yu.

- For the duration of the race, each contestant gets one free-pass; they can miss their resolution goal for one day without consequences. Once contestants use their free pass, they will automatically be ranked behind those who haven’t.
- If contestants are still on track with their resolution by March, they get a prize. The contestant who keeps their resolution the longest gets an additional prize.
- Check-up day will take place every Thursday, when we will calculate their points.
- For each day they stick to their resolution, they receive one point. A free pass allows contestants to redeem a point, even when they did not fulfill their resolution for a day.
