Tips & Advice
- Register early, since only the first 1,800 runners are guaranteed the shirt, Santa hat and shoe bell, and early sign-ups get better shirt size choices.
- Grab your packet at the Myers Park Office on November 29 or 30, looking for the signs to the small back office with outdoor tables.
- If you miss the Myers Park pickup days, collect your packet on run day in the Capital City Bank lot at South Monroe and Tennessee Streets.
- Sign up before December 4 to lock in the lower registration price, which goes up after that date.
- Keep in mind registration fees are non-refundable even if the run is cancelled for weather, so only sign up when you're sure.
