From the Race Organizer
This is my 5th year since taking over the Christmas Tree Skirt Dash - time sure does FLY! As always this year the race proceeds (every single cent minus the cost of tee-shirts) will go to the Children's Miracle Network which covers gas and medications and child life and so much more for the oncology kiddos of South Dakota. This is am amazing organization and love that by running we can support them. We will be running on the bike trail starting at Cherapa Place with our headquarters being at Queen City Bakery for packet pick up. We will walk down together to the race start at 10:45 AM so don't worry you wont get lost! Come dressed for fun! A sweet prize goes to the winner of the best costume! There will be penguins or flags along the course for markings and there will be signs at the turn around for each distance.
