About this race

The Run Run Reindeer 5K & 1 Mile Family Walk is more than just a festive holiday tradition—it’s a race with a purpose! Proceeds from this event directly benefit the YMCA Healthy Kids Network Backpack Program, which provides over 475 children in 24 Licking County schools with nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals each weekend. Every step you take helps ensure no child in our community goes hungry. Participants will enjoy a cheerful, family-friendly atmosphere complete with holiday music, costumes, and plenty of fun along the course. Thanks to the generosity of our amazing sponsors, each runner and walker will receive a cozy commemorative race sweatshirt to remember the day. This race is truly unique—where else can you lace up your sneakers, join Rudy the Reindeer in spreading holiday cheer, and know that your entry fee is helping local kids thrive? Whether you’re racing to beat your best time, walking with friends, or making memories with family, this event is the perfect way to celebrate the season and give back to your community. To guarantee shirt size you must register by November 15.
