Ho Ho Run - 2026

Celebrate the holiday spirit with HO-HO-RUN AARS 2026 on December 24, 2026! This festive race invites runners of all ages and abilities to kick off Christmas Eve with joyous exercise and warm camaraderie. Choose from a variety of distances—3.1 km, 5.1 km, 10.1 km, or the half-marathon (21.1 km)—and start your day feeling refreshed in crisp air.
The race begins at 9:00 AM with an early-start option for slower-paced runners at 8:30 AM. Early starters must expect a finish time of over two hours and fifteen minutes to qualify, but if you cross the line faster than this, your official time will be recorded as 2:15:00.
Post-race, treat yourself to water, fruit, something sweet, and something salty at the medal collection area. Don't miss out on a slice of apple pie waiting in the garage for all participants! Additionally, every finisher receives this year's unique HO-HO-RUN AARS medal.
Convenient parking is available near Daginstitutionen Lille Madsen or Rytterkvarteret—both close to the start and finish lines. The event promises a day filled with holiday cheer and scenic routes through charming landscapes of Aars, making it an unforgettable part of your Christmas Eve tradition.
Join friends, family, or neighbors for a run that's as much about fun and fellowship as it is about fitness. Register now to be a part of this heartwarming celebration!
