Join us on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH, as we come together to run or waddle our way into the holiday season! We hope you will sign up to participate and will invite a friend or neighbor to join us too! Still have family in town from Thanksgiving, bring them!! This is a family friendly race that is open to the entire community - both members & non-members of the club are welcome!

This race is hosted by the Isle of Wight Country Club - a small community club whose members live on or nearby to Isle of Wight. It serves as a major fundraiser for 2024 and the proceeds will support the upkeep of the club, the addition of new programs and our outreach within the community. Your participation & support is greatly appreciated and we can't wait to come together as a community to kick off the holidays together!

Early Bird pricing is $35.00 per person for all racers over the age of 5. There is a family bundle discount that reduces the cost by $5 per participant if four people are registered at the same time.
