What better way to kick off the Christmas tree lighting here in Breckenridge, than the Moose March! This kids race kickstarts our Race of the Santas, and gets the crowds ready for the arrival of Santa Claus and the lighting of our trees! The first 100 kids get a Moose beanie to wear for the race, and get to flaunt them all along Main street!

Bib pick-up will be at The Canteen (208 N Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424) from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM on Saturday, December 7nd.

A portion of the proceeds goes to Carriage House Early Learning Center- Breckenridge’s oldest childcare facility. Carriage House is dedicated to fostering intellectual, social/emotional and physical development in a high quality early childhood setting; building meaningful relationships with families and our community, honoring childhood, and inspiring life-long learners that have a sense of global responsibility. Doing what's best for kids since 1973!
