    Join us for the 16th Annual Rudolph 5k Fun Run, Dasher 10k and Cupid 1k starting at our new location, Bendwood Park, and running through the area neighborhoods while enjoying all the Christmas Decorations. We welcome all ages and runner speeds, walkers, joggers, strollers and all those wanting to have. This year we have moved our fun run to Bendwood Park located just around the corner at 12700 Kimberly Park which offers more for the kids to do and easier parking. We will have the same route outside of a 1/2 mile, but all distances have been confirmed.

    Smile for the camera as we judge to see who has the best Christmas costume and win a great gift card. Enjoy pictures with Santa Claus and special treats after the fun run including mimosas and much more. All registered athletes will receive a medal and more.

    1k Cupid Run starts at 7:40am followed by the 10k Dasher Run at 8am and Rudolph 5k Run at 8:05am.

    We look forward to seeing you this year!
