Carol of Lights Run
About the event
Enjoy the spirit of the season with an evening run on the campus of Texas Tech University. This family-friendly event will have you amazed at the more than 25,000 colored lights that illuminate many buildings on campus. Carolers will entertain the runners along the course. After crossing the finish line, all runners will enjoy Santa's treats on a cold winter's night.
Items will be collected for a local children's charity!
