Merry Miles - 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Merry Miles: Run for a Cause, Give for the Heart

This holiday season, we invite you to join us for the Merry Miles run, where the true spirit of giving shines brighter than ever. This special event celebrates the joy of selflessness and generosity—the reason for the season. Lace-up your shoes and bring an unwrapped toy for a boy or girl, which will be donated to Miller Children’s Hospital, bringing holiday cheer to those who need it most.

Whether you’re running, jogging, or walking, Merry Miles offers an uplifting experience where the miles you log can make a meaningful impact. We offer multiple distances—5K, 10K, and Half Marathon—so there’s a challenge for everyone. As you race, you'll be surrounded by festive decorations and the warmth of the holiday season, knowing your participation helps spread love and joy to children in need.
