Organiser's Description
ALL FINISHERS RECEIVE A MEDAL, FREE RACE DAY PHOTOS, AND YUMMY FINISH-LINE SNACKS.
THE COLD MOON IS THE FULL MOON THAT TYPICALLY OCCURS IN DECEMBER AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WINTER SOLSTICE, MARKING THE START OF THE COLDEST TIME OF THE YEAR IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. IT GETS ITS NAME FROM NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONS, WHICH OFTEN NAMED FULL MOONS BASED ON SEASONAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE COLD MOON REFLECTS THE DEEPENING CHILL OF WINTER, AS NIGHTS GROW LONGER AND TEMPERATURES DROP.
IN SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL TRADITIONS, THE COLD MOON REPRESENTS A TIME OF REFLECTION, REST, AND PREPARATION FOR THE COMING YEAR. IT IS A PERIOD TO SLOW DOWN, APPRECIATE THE QUIET AND STILLNESS OF WINTER, AND FOCUS ON PERSONAL GROWTH AND RENEWAL. MANY PEOPLE USE THIS TIME FOR INTROSPECTION, SETTING INTENTIONS FOR THE FUTURE, OR RELEASING THINGS THEY NO LONGER NEED AS THE YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE.
