Race‑day pickup will also be available on site starting one hour before the race, but we strongly encourage everyone to grab packets early prior to race day, to skip race day lines and head to the start line on time.
 

Run all five holiday races and you’ll earn this exclusive medal hanger after the Ugly Sweater 5K—yep, it’s FREE (we are tracking this for you)! These hangers were custom-made just for this series and are our way of celebrating your commitment.

Missed a race or two (or three)? No judgment here—you can still grab one during checkout for $35.00 and join in the fun.

Inspired by the most unforgettable tree scene in Christmas Vacation—yes, the squirrel moment!
