From the Organizer

ArtsView Children's Theatre is excited to have your participation in this annual fundraiser featuring a 5k and one mile fun run through downtown Longview. This fun, family-friendly event is a great way to celebrate the holiday season while supporting the Arts in our East Texas community.

The 5k begins at 8am. Can't stand to be up that early? Support ArtsView with a sleep-in donation!

All finishers will receive a medal. Awards will be given to the 5k age group winners as well as the overall one mile male and female winners. Big thanks to our friends downtown at the Silver Grizzly Espresso and Wild Honey Creamery for helping us award our winners!
