Held at the Sam Smith Park just outside downtown Cartersville, GA, this event has quickly becoming a North Georgia holiday tradition! There IS construction taking place within the Sam Smith Park Trail System, so you might see a few changes to the route for 2025 for both the 5K & the 10K - but it will still be a very fast route with TONS of Holiday Cheer to go around!

Word on the street is that SANTA will be there, and you won't want to miss him!! He's making a list of registrants, checking it twice, and it's probably naughty to miss this race. So BE NICE! Come out with the whole family and be a part of this fast-growing holiday tradition in Cartersville!! Run it, walk it, or crawl it. Just be a part of it.

Dress up in your most creative costume!! Pets are welcome (on a leash, please). Yep, even Fifi and Bowzer are invited, so dress up those 4-footed furries and BRING...YOUR...FRIENDS!
