Monroe County Holiday Lights 5k
About the event
The Monroe County Fairgrounds is back again for the 2nd annual Holiday Lights 5k. For year two we are adding a race shirt, timing, and making it a true 5k event. This unique 5k takes you through the fairgrounds holiday lights route 2.5 times and ends at the fairgrounds free stage. Come join us and make this a new holiday family tradition!
This year's event will take place Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
Packet Pickup will start at 6pm and the run/walk will begin at 7pm. Please enter the fairgrounds through gate 4 and try to arrive no later than 6:30 to allow time for the crowd to complete packet pickup. We will try to start promptly at 7pm.
