Lanes of Light Twin Lakes Community Fun Run/Walk 2026 — BURLINGTON, NC

Join Twin Lakes Community as we celebrate 20 years of Lanes of Light! Choose your Christmas Adventure - take the Elf Express (follow the Elf signs) or the Reindeer Route (follow the reindeer signs)! The Elf Express is a merry mile for everyone; making a loop around the main roads of Twin Lakes. For those of you who want to go a little further with Santa's favorite team, choose the Reindeer Route which will cover both sides of the Twin Lakes campus. Race/walk/roll and stroll through our annual holiday light display. Along with the light display, prepare to meet the residents who call this place home. Many of them will be cheering and serenading you with holiday song from the sidelines as you make your way through the course. The event will be held Sunday, December 6 beginning at 4:30 p.m. We recommend arriving between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm in order to park and get to starting area. The official run/walk will begin at 5:30 p.m. sharp. No late comers. The event wrap-up will include cookies, hot chocolate, and a visit from the big guy himself. Plan to be off the course by 7:00 p.m. Please register and place T-shirt orders by October 15 to guarantee your specific size. Proceeds and collected donations will be distributed evenly between our local Meals on Wheels program and the Salvation Army. You’ve got questions, we’ve got some answers. Staff and residents are welcome to participate and can invite family members and their favorite running buddies. (Sorry no 4 legged running buddies allowed). Please be mindful that you will be walking in an active community neighborhood. The course will be monitored by safety officers and volunteers. Dress for the event and weather. We recommend comfy sneakers, warm clothes, and even holiday festive wear! Headlamps are recommended for those planning to be at the front of the pack. For the rest of us, bring a flashlight to illuminate your path, or just enjoy the beauty of the lights as they light up the night sky.
