From the Organizer
Join us on December 19th at Bill Moore Community Park (Fletch Park) for a fun and festive morning! We want to flood the day with running Santas, walking Santas, Santa Paws, and little Santas! This is a non-competitive, non-timed event, meant to bring a little fun to the holiday season!
All paces are welcome, as well as strollers. Pets are welcome and encouraged! We don't have any Santa suits for the pups, but we would love to see them dressed up, too!
PACKET/SANTA SUIT PICK UP:
