Sweating with Santa 5K presented by Ruppel Chiropractic

Join us for the 2nd annual Sweating with Santa 5K presented by Ruppel Chiropractic on Saturday, December 19th, 2026.  This one-of-a-kind, family friendly event will be held INDOORS on the turf at the Greenheck Turner Community Center.  Choose between the more laid back Family 5K Run/Walk or challenge yourself with the 5K Competitive Run.  Kids 10 and under can join us in the Santa Sprint!

**To ensure everyone has enough space to comfortably complete the run/walk, we are offering two heats for the Griswold Family 5K run/walk.  Each heat will have it's own time slot so please register for the heat that works best for you and your family.  Heats are the same and there is no advantage to participating in one over the other.  (We reserve the right to combine heats, if necessary).**

Proceeds from the event will benefit the GTCC youth scholarship fund and D.C. Everest soccer scholarships.
