10K Reindeer Run
Incl. $1.70 Fee & T-Shirt
Sat 5th December 2026 (9:50AM EST)
$41.70
Ready to put in the work? Our competitive 10K takes runners around six full laps of the certified Rock Hill Criterium course about 6.6 miles, or 10.62K, slightly longer than a standard 10K since we wanted the course to stay clean and lap-based rather than cut short with an awkward partial loop. It's a great early-morning challenge before the rest of the day's festivities kick off, with plenty of energy on the course and a strong finish waiting at the line. -
Reindeer Relay (4 Person Team)
Incl. $1.70 Fee & T-Shirt
Sat 5th December 2026 (11:15AM EST)
$41.70
Grab three friends, coworkers, or family members and take on the course together as a team of four. Each runner covers one 1.1-mile loop of the Rock Hill Criterium course before handing off to the next just like Santa's team, everyone plays their part to get the sleigh home. It's a fun, low-pressure way to experience race day as a group, whether you're chasing a competitive time or just looking for an excuse to wear matching antlers. Teams of four are required to register together; solo sign-ups can be paired with an available team at check-in.
