Tips & Advice

  • Register online before October 31, when the price goes up, and skip in-person sign-up at packet pickup, which costs more from December 9.
  • Sign up for the 1 Mile and stay for the 5K too, since one registration covers both races at no extra charge.
  • Grab your packet early at the NISD Athletic Office or Haslet Elementary, keeping in mind that pickup dates, times and locations may still change.
  • Dress for whatever the weather brings, because the Reindeer Romp runs rain or shine at Alliance Airport.
  • If your dog comes along, bring bags to clean up after it and keep it under control around other runners.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Registration goes up after October 31, and in-person sign-up at packet pickup costs more starting December 9
