Candyland Christmas 5K is a running race on December 5, 2026 in Andalusia, AL, with an entry fee of $30.
We are excited again to be hosting our 5K race on December 5, 2026. Our city will be all dressed up for the holidays! The course will begin at Springdale Estates, and wind through Christmas in Candyland which features custom built cottages made especially for kids and giant decorated trees. The course will have some moderate hills and winds through some of the historic parts of our quaint town. There will be ice-skating, train rides, a polar slide and, of course, snow machines. Come join us. This race should put us all in the holiday spirit! Bring the family, run the race, then spend the weekend enjoying Christmas in Candyland.
