Grinch Fun Run
About this race
Get ready to dash into the holiday season at the Grinch Fun Run hosted by Historic Newburgh, Inc. on November 21! 🎄💚
Choose your festive challenge with a timed 5K, 1-mile run/walk, or a Kids Dash — all set along the beautiful Ohio Riverfront in downtown Newburgh, Indiana. Whether you're racing for a personal best or just out for some merry movement, the scenic river views make this event extra special.
Our town Grinch will be on hand stirring up holiday mischief along the course and posing for photos, so be ready for some festive fun!
We encourage everyone to dress in your favorite Grinch-inspired or Christmas-themed outfit — the more festive, the better! Break out the green, the Santa hats, the ugly Christmas sweaters, and all the holiday sparkle to make this a holly jolly event to remember.
All participants will receive a custom event t-shirt, making this the perfect way to kick off the Christmas season with family and friends.
Don’t be a Grinch — join the fun and make plans to run, walk, and celebrate with us! 🎅✨
