About the Event

On Saturday, December 19th, runners of all ages can experience two unique events designed to cater to different fitness levels. The evening kicks off at 5:30 PM with a competitive one-mile race tailored for those who thrive under the pressure and excitement of speed.
At 6:00 PM, the festivities continue as participants have the opportunity to take part in either a fast-paced 5K run or a leisurely 5K walk. The first event is ideal for runners capable of completing a 5K course within 30 minutes at an average pace faster than 9:45 per mile. This race promises high energy and spirited competition.
For those who prefer a more relaxed approach, the second option offers a 5K run/walk starting at 6:30 PM with no strict time constraints but recommended for participants expecting to take longer than 30 minutes to complete the distance. The pace here is set comfortably below 10 minutes per mile.
Both events are inclusive of all ages, offering automatic discounts during registration for those aged 13 years and under as well as seniors over 65 years old, ensuring that everyone can participate in this festive evening run without financial barriers. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, there's an option to suit your pace and preferences on December 19th.
The event provides the perfect setting for runners looking to challenge themselves against time or simply enjoy a scenic route with friends and family at their own comfortable speed.
