  • Accessibility: The course runs on narrow bike paths over bridge climbs, and strollers and baby joggers aren't allowed.
  • Pets: Pets are not permitted in either event.

Tips & Advice

  • Pick up your packet at late registration on December 23, since packets aren't mailed and the pickup spot is still to be announced.
  • Register by December 6 to lock in the Advance rate, because fees go up after that and rise again on race day.
  • Choose the 5K if you plan to walk, as the 10K has a 90-minute limit and anyone still out after that is removed from the course.
  • Leave dogs, strollers and baby joggers at home, because narrow bike paths and bridge climbs mean none are allowed in either race.
  • Dress as an elf or Santa, then stick around for the award ceremony with refreshments, music, door prizes and maybe a visit from Santa.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The Advance registration rate runs until December 6. Fees go up after that and again on race day.
