Fun Run Rudolph
About the Event
Event Description
Don’t you wish it was already Christmas time? So do we! Christmas certainly is one of the most wonderful times of the year! We are inviting families and individuals of all ages to join us for the 3rd annual Fun Run Rudolph! This is a family fun run, not a race. However, participants can run as fast or as slow as they would like. This event has been created to bring families together during the Christmas season while promoting personal fitness.
Runners/Walkers will start the course by following Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Rudolph will run the course with the participants and lead them through the 2-mile course. Follow Rudolph and he will ultimately lead participants to Santa Claus who will be waiting at the finish line.
Once a participant finishes the course, they will receive a chocolate chip cookie to enjoy! Participants will then have their picture taken with Santa Claus. While waiting to take pictures with Santa, participants can fill out their wish list for this Christmas. Once the participant has filled it out, they can leave it with Santa. No photographers will be there taking professional pictures. Feel free to bring your own camera/photographer for your best Christmas photos ever! Take as many pictures as you’d like!
So, come on out to this family friendly event! We look forward to seeing you there! Children 2 and under are free with a paying participant. Get signed up today!
