Or have the family join us for the family-friendly, noncompetitive Family Fun Mile—a fun way for kids and families to get moving together.

Celebrate the day with cookies, cocoa, and holiday cheer, plus a chance to meet friendly characters, including Santa himself! Don’t forget your festive attire: prizes will be awarded for the best costumes, so come dressed to impress.

Register by November 6 to receive a commemorative race T-shirt.
