RegisterDo you love the Holiday Lights at Krug Park? Of course, you do! We all do! This event is an untimed (no race/run bibs or timing chips will be included) fun walk/run under the holiday lights at Krug Park. This is a family friendly event; even Santa 🎅 said he wanted in on the fun! Bring your Christmas lists kiddos! He will collect them at the start line! Line-up will start at 4:33-4:45PM at the park entrance where hot cocoa will be served, and all participants will receive a festive Tutu. We encourage you to arrive at 4:15PM to get extra time for pictures with Santa and get your Tutu & Cocoa. The Hazels Coffee Bago will also be onsite selling festive holiday drinks and lattes. The walk/run will start at 5:00PM CST sharp. The course will navigate the main roads of Holiday Park, which is approximately 1.5 miles long. All walkers and runners will have one hour to complete the course. All participants must be clear of the course by 6:00PM CST, as the park will open to visitors in vehicles at that point in time. This event is capped at 500 registrants for safety concerns.
Back by popular demand! Add Cinnabon packs to your entry! The proceeds from these sweet treats will of course go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and our overall fundraisng goal! They will be available for pickup at the start/finish line of the event. We do have to clear the entry to the park before 6:00PM, so please make sure to pick your order up immediately after finishing the event.

Their researchers and doctors work together to turn laboratory breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments for children from across the United States and around the world. With your support, St. Jude can provide cutting-edge treatments at no cost to families — so they can focus on helping their child live (stjude.org)."
