About the Event

The Annual Cookie Monster Charity Run! 🍪🏃

Join us for a sweet race that supports a wonderful cause! The Cookie Monster Run offers a unique challenge where your speed is measured not just by time, but by your cookie-eating prowess! Every step and every bite will help bring holiday joy to local families in need.

The Cause: Why We Run (and Eat!)

Our goal is simple: to raise money to buy Christmas gifts for families that cannot afford them. All funds collected through the event—from entry fees to additional donations—will be used to purchase and deliver presents, ensuring every child has a happy holiday season.

Race Details & Entry

ENTRY FEE:

We are asking for a monetary donation of your choice as your entry fee. There will be a secure box at the registration table for all donations.

Can't make it to the race? You can still donate! Every dollar makes a difference in buying gifts.

 

How It Works: The Ultimate Cookie Challenge

This is not your average race! Whether you choose the 3-mile or 1-mile distance, the course is broken down into quarter-mile (0.25 mile) segments.

  1. Run the first 0.25 milesegment.
  2. STOP and eat as many cookies as you want/can! We'll mark your bib for each cookie you finish, so you don't have to worry about counting.
  3. Turn around and run back to the next cookie stop.
  4. Repeat this process until you have completed the full 3 miles (or 1 mile for the Kids Run).

Awards: Who Will Be the Ultimate Cookie Monster?
