Organiser's Description
_VOTED THE NUMBER 1 THEMED RACE IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY _according to The Lehigh Valley Running Scene, the Christmas City Classic 5K will challenge you on the race course and send your Christmas Spirit soaring!
The Christmas City Classic has been around for over 30 years, a long-standing tradition in the running community! Most of our runners dress in Christmas colors or costumes, which add lots of merriment to the races. With a fun course, a festive race T-shirt, post-race refreshments included. Were sure youll be calling this event one of your most favorite running events during the most wonderful time of the year!
We are bringing back the option to have a mug instead of a t-shirt this year. The mug option instead of a shirt is an additional $5.00.
You can order a mug until November 30, 2025. They have a longer order processing time so we can't offer mugs after that date. Thank you!
For shirts, you can register up through race day and you will be guaranteed a shirt!
Extra T-Shirts will be available for $18. You can also order extra mugs for $13.50 each.
This year we have decided to make the running event solely a 5k distance. This is being done to minimize the impact to morning traffic in the downtown Bethlehem Main Street area. The event is creating a traffic jam there even at that weekend hour. It's the busiest time of the year in downtown Bethlehem
Race day registration will be available from 0730am until 0830 on race day, December 13. All you'll need to do is to register here online and present yourself at registration to get your bib and shirt. You can register from your house on race morning, or from your car on race morning, or while you are walking to the registration and check in area!
