2026 Run Run Rudolph 5k

Dive into the festive spirit of Dyersville with its annual "Run Run Rudolph" 5K Fun Run, set to take place on December 5th at Westside Park. Participants can choose between a one-mile run or the full 5K course, both starting promptly at 11:30 am. The event offers timed competition and opportunities for runners of all skill levels, with registration fees ranging from $15 to $25 depending on whether you opt for a race shirt. Packet pick-up is available before the race from 10:30-11:15 am at Westside Park across from Legacy Square.
Awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in each age group, adding an extra layer of excitement for competitive runners. The event not only celebrates athleticism but also supports local initiatives by raising funds for monthly markets' activities, entertainment, and maintenance. After crossing the finish line, stick around for a day filled with holiday cheer at the Merry Mingle Market from 12:00-4:00 pm, followed by the Lighted Christmas Parade at 6 pm.
