Kids 1/2 mile finishers will receive a toy from Santa’s bag. 

The 5K is a chip timed event. Finishers will receive a Christmas ornament medal. 5K runners may run the 1/2 Mile run for no extra fee. Strollers are welcome.

This family friendly 5K and 1/2 Mile Kids Run will raise funds for the Zachary Charity League. All race proceeds go towards scholarships, teacher grants and Snack Packs for Kids, which provides healthy snacks over the weekend for children who come from food insecure homes. The race route passes by five of our seven schools, which is the heart of our league.  Learn more about us at zacharycharityleague.org
