Reindeer Run

About the event

The Reindeer Run is a wacky, fun-filled 5k featuring costumes, hot chocolate, and of course, Santa.

​Get in on the action at the Eclipse Company Store. Registration and all of the festivities kick off at 9 a.m. and the 5k walk/run takes off at 10:00 a.m. Hang around at Eclipse Company Store after the race for lunch and visits with Santa. Remember, costumes are 100% encouraged!

​Registration is just $20 for adults and $10 for youth under age 18. Reindeer Run long-sleeve tee shirts are available for purchase at the event. Race day registration is $30 for adults and $10 for youth under age 18. All registered participants will receive a jingle bell necklace to wear during the fun run/walk.

Does running or walking a 5k sound worse than getting coal in your stocking? Sign up for our Zero K! You'll still get a jingle bell necklace AND you'll be supporting a great cause!

​The Reindeer Run is hosted every year by the Friends of Athens CASA. All of the proceeds from the Reindeer Run support the mission of the Athens CASA/GAL Program and the local children served by the program. Learn more about Athens CASA at www.athenscasa.org.
