From the Organizer
Wear a beard and hat, antlers, jingle bells, or whatever helps get you excited to celebrate a cool Christmas themed good time in the summer heat!
This race is a community friendly event that we are hoping to be able to double as a small fundraiser for our Caldwell XCTF Teams. There will be prizes and attractions at the finish area after our Kids Run and 5K races so bring the whole family and all your friends to have some fun with us!
The race will start and end right on the Caldwell campus where there will be parking available for participants.
