About the Event

The Legendary Lights 5K is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. The Historic Clifton Mill displays over 4 million lights illuminating the mill, the gorge, the riverbanks, trees and bridges. The course begins at the Clifton Shelter House and heads north on Clay Street out into the countryside on Tanyard Road, turning around and finishing back at the Shelter House. Enjoy hot chocolate, Christmas goodies and a surprise Christmas gift!

After the race, stay and see the award winning lights display, because your race registration includes admission into the nightly Legendary Lights Show and Christmas Village any evening during the 2025 season!

Before or after the race, visit the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve. Just a short hike (less than a half mile) from the Mill and see where the Little Miami River funnels into a deep narrow canyon forming one of the most spectacular gorges in the state!
