Join us on December 12th along the Cape Fear River Trail (paved trail) for a fun and festive morning! We want to flood the day with running Santas, walking Santas, Santa Paws, and little Santas! This is a non-competitive, non-timed event, meant to bring a little fun to the holiday season! All paces are welcome, as well as strollers. Pets are welcome and encouraged! We don't have any Santa suits for the pups, but we would love to see them dressed up, too! We have added the "1-mile" walk/run/shuffle option as well. Registration is the same for both distance options. We will have turnaround points marked for both the 1-mile route and the 5K route. You decide which distance you would like to complete! PACKET/SANTA SUIT PICK UP: IN-STORE AT FLEET FEET FAYETTEVILLE: Thursday, December 10th - 11 am-6 pm & Friday, December 11th - 10 am- 6:45 pm Last-minute packet pick-up on race day (11/12) will be near the Start, from 7 am to 8 am.
