About the event

 


🎄 Tharptown Christmas Display Presents:

2nd Annual Run Run Rudolph 5K 

This isn’t just any Christmas run it’s a holiday adventure inspired by A Christmas Story!

Along the 5K route, you’ll pass through themed spots inspired by the beloved classic. From Ralphie’s dream of a Red Ryder BB gun to the unforgettable triple-dog-dare moment, you’ll feel like you stepped right into the Parker family’s Christmas. 👓🎁

And of course we want to see YOU in your best festive A Christmas Story attire!

Think: Ralphie’s pink bunny suit 🐰, Randy bundled up like a snowman 🧣, Flick after the flagpole dare ❄️, or The Old Man admiring his “major award” lamp 🏆. The more creative, the better—because what’s Christmas without a little nostalgia and fun.
