From the Organizer
Celebrate the 2026 Christmas season at this festive one-mile run/walk benefiting the Children’s Home Society of Parkersburg. Our goal is to raise $5,000, with every dollar supporting the organization’s mission to protect and nurture children. It’s a joyful way to welcome the holidays, bring the community together, and make a meaningful difference.
The event will begin and end on Market Street in downtown Parkersburg, with Bicentennial Park as the gathering point. Transformed into a cheerful Christmas Village, the park will offer complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, sweet treats, festive music, and a special visit from Santa.
A $5 entry donation includes a Santa hat and a Christmas mug showcasing holiday artwork created by a child in a Children’s Home Society program.
