About the Event

Kick off the winter running season with festive flair at the Reindeer Romp 4k Run/Walk on Sunday, January 25, 2026. This lively 4-kilometer (2.4 mile) event is the first leg of the popular Polar Bear Grand Prix, starting at Hogan's Fountain in Louisville's beautiful Cherokee Park. Known for its fun holiday spirit, the race features a costume contest with categories like "Ugliest Sweater" and "Best Group Costume," and even offers the chance to take a photo with Rudolph after your run.

Every participant receives a long-sleeve race shirt and a finisher medal, which connects with medals from the other two series races to form a complete Polar Bear Grand Prix keepsake. You can also support the Olmsted Parks Conservancy through fundraising, with the chance to earn a free entry. With both in-person and virtual options available, it's the perfect way to combine holiday cheer, friendly competition, and support for Louisville's beloved park system.
