Fun Run Rudolph

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Dont you wish it was already Christmas time? So do we! Christmas certainly is one of the most wonderful times of the year! We are inviting individuals and families of all ages to join us for FUN RUN RUDOLPH! This is a family fun run, not a race. This event has been created to bring families together during the Christmas season while promoting personal fitness.

Runners/Walkers will start the course by following Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Rudolph will run the course with the participants and lead them through the 2-mile course. Follow Rudolph and he will ultimately lead participants to Santa Claus who will be waiting at the finish line. There will be a few surprises along the course.

Once a participant finishes the course, they will receive chocolate chip cookies to enjoy! Participants will then get in line to have their picture taken with Santa Claus. While standing in line, Santas elves will assist participants with filling out their wish lists for this Christmas. Once the participant has filled it out, they will hang on to it so they can give their wish list directly to Santa Claus. No photographers will be there taking professional pictures. Bring your own camera/photographer for your best Christmas photos ever!

So, come on out to this family friendly event! We look forward to seeing you there!
