Tips & Advice
- Pick up your packet at late registration on December 23, since packets aren't mailed and the pickup spot is still to be announced.
- Register by December 6 to lock in the Advance rate, because fees go up after that and rise again on race day.
- Choose the 5K if you plan to walk, as the 10K has a 90-minute limit and anyone still out after that is removed from the course.
- Leave dogs, strollers and baby joggers at home, because narrow bike paths and bridge climbs mean none are allowed in either race.
- Dress as an elf or Santa, then stick around for the award ceremony with refreshments, music, door prizes and maybe a visit from Santa.
Special Events & Promotions
- The Advance registration rate runs until December 6. Fees go up after that and again on race day.
