Deck the Heels 5K Night Run

Deck the Heels 5K Night Run

Get ready to light up the night with holiday cheer! Held the second Saturday of December each year, The Deck the Heels 5k Night Run is the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event is open to everyone. The course winds through the city streets, past beautifully decorated homes and twinkling holiday lights. Runners are encouraged to dress up in their most festive attire, with a prize awarded for the best outfit. After the race, stick around for a post-run holiday extravaganza with Santa, food, hot chocolate, music, and more! It's a great opportunity to catch up with friends and make new ones, all while soaking up the holiday atmosphere. Glow-in-the-Dark accessories will be available at packet pickup. We encourage runners to "Deck" themselves out for this festive Christmas event.

We are also pleased to announce the addition of the VIRTUAL Deck the Heels 5k for those that are unable to join us in person. Virtual participants are able to choose a 5k course and submit their time to our Results page. So lace up your sneakers, put on your best holiday gear, and join us for the Deck the Heels 5k Night Run. Let's spread some holiday joy and make memories that will last a lifetime!
