This is a Christmas-themed race with live carolers, snow, water and Christmas cookies at the finish! Run either the 5K or 10K and choose a Santa beanie, Full Santa suit or custom race shirt. The finisher medals are gift boxes with Santa that transform into ornaments. At the end of the race, there’s food and beverages for sale including specialty coffees, hot chocolate, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, tacos and tamales. The running event uses its proceeds to gift those who otherwise would not experience a Christmas and need staple goods.
