About this race
NC4K Reindeer Run
Get ready to walk, run, or jog in Downtown Columbus along the Scioto Mile to support Ohio childhood cancer families! Getting the race started, we’ll cheer on our youngest runners in the Chick-fil-A Kids’ Fun Run. Looking for a family-friendly option? Sign up for our one mile Santa Stroll! After the race, participants are encouraged to stick around for the Rooftop Reindeer Party at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum and enjoy FREE Chick-fil-A!
Your participation in this event is truly what allows NC4K to spread joy and magic to our families this holiday season. Together, we are showing these families that…No Kid Fights Cancer Alone.
