Tips & Advice

  • Register before October 28, when the fee goes up for the first time, and it rises several more times before race day.
  • Sign up together with at least three friends in a single registration to get the group discount for each runner.
  • Stay on Washington Blvd after you finish, since the Ogden Holiday Light Parade comes down the same street right after the race.
  • Wear warm layers you can run in under your Santa suit for a late-November evening race through downtown Ogden.
