Tips & Advice

  • Register before December 2 to be guaranteed a race T-shirt, because shirts for later sign-ups are first come, first served.
  • Bring your own antlers to wear, because the Reindeer Run is billed as BYOA and everyone is invited to dress the part.
  • Register online by December 11, or bring a completed paper registration form on race day if you miss the online deadline.
  • Stay on the sidewalk if you plan to walk the full 5K, because walkers covering the whole course are required to use it.
  • Arrive early on race morning, because registration opens shortly before the start and the race goes off promptly.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Participants under 18 automatically receive $5 off 5K registration.
  • Register before December 2 to guarantee an event T-shirt; later shirts are first-come, first-served.
