Get ready to kick off the holiday season in style at the Dashing Through Defiance Run on Saturday, December 6th, 2025! This festive event takes place in the charming town of Defiance, where you can choose to race in one of three exciting distances: 1 mile, 5k, or 10k. As you jingle all the way through streets adorned with twinkling holiday lights, you'll be greeted by cheering neighbors and fellow participants. The first 200 runners will receive a delightful red Santa suit to wear, creating a vibrant sea of Santas spreading holiday cheer with every step.

Join in on the fun and camaraderie, whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying the holiday spirit. This cozy run is perfectly timed just before the 15th annual Defiance Christmas Festival and parade, making it a fantastic way to celebrate the season. Make sure to arrive early, as parking is limited at Good News Brewing. Get ready to lace up your sneakers and dash into the festive fun—ho-ho-hope to see you at the starting line!
