Tips & Advice
- Pre-register online by December 4, because the race-day registration fee is higher than the pre-registration fee for Santa's Run.
- Plan to pick up your race number in person, because numbers are not mailed to registered runners before the race.
- Head to the Glastonbury High School gymnasium area first, since registration is held there and the finish line is in the parking lot next to it.
- Keep Sunday, December 13 free as a backup, because that is the race's snow date if the December 6 run is snowed out.
- Get ready for 3.5 miles on varied terrain, and consider dressing up, since the race has a costume division alongside the regular divisions.
Special Events & Promotions
- Pre-registering online by December 4 costs less than registering on race day.
