Hammond’s Best Holiday Tradition! For 14 years, the Reindeer Run—presented by Davie Shoring—has brought Christmas cheer to Downtown Hammond. What began as a small neighborhood race has grown into a beloved December tradition, filling our streets with families, athletes, and holiday spirit. Thanks to the generous support of Davie Shoring, this year’s event promises to be our best yet. The race often sells out, so don’t wait to register! Choose Your Distance Whether you’re racing the chip-timed 5K or enjoying the 1-Mile Fun Run, there’s a spot for everyone on the course.
