From the Organizer
Get ready for a holiday race with a twist! The White Elephant 5k - inspired by the gift-swapping tradition, where surprises, silliness, and a little friendly chaos make the fun.
The gift remains a mystery until after you complete the race. When you cross the finish line, you’ll choose from the available gifts, unwrapping your very own surprise- packaged White Elephant-style for a fun and festive reveal.
Welcome to the White Elephant 5K, unwrap the fun, embrace the unexpected, and enjoy every mile of this joyful holiday tradition!
The run is dog friendly. State parks require dogs to be leashed with no more than a 6ft leash.
All proceeds will go to the park to support trail maintenance and educational programs.
