The run is approximately 3.1 miles long on city streets. Runners and walkers dress up in their worst holiday sweaters, maybe have some holiday drinks before lining up at the start line. The start line will have snow machines, reindeer games and awesome holiday music. Once you’re on the course, you’ll find holiday themed aide stations every mile – EG – Sled hills (weather permitting), Hot Chocolate aide stations, Christmas Trees
lining the streets and more snow (Yes, even you Las Vegas, we’re bringing the snow!)
Strollers and dogs are welcome!

After you’ve completed your 3.1 jog (sounds like yawg, it’s a new thing that people are doing now, yawgging), join us at the post run festivities. Awards for best real mustache, best fake mustache, best beard, worst sweater, best sweater and general amazing holiday fun. Oh yea,Sam Adams will be pouring adult beverages for the oldies and the kiddos can get all hopped up on Hot Chocolate.

We ask that every participant brings a new toy to donate under our huge Christmas Tree (yes, we just said Christmas Tree. If you can find us a ‘Holiday’ Tree to buy, shoot us an email). All toys will be donated following the run to Toys For Tots.
