Get ready to dash through the snow at our Run Run Reindeer 5K and Family Fun Walk, benefiting the YMCA Healthy Kids Network Backpack Program! This festive event supports our mission to provide weekend meals for children in need during the school year, ensuring no child goes hungry. The fun kicks off with registration opening at 8:00 AM, followed by the 5K race at 9:30 AM and the Family Fun Walk at 9:40 AM. Participants will enjoy swag bags, treats, medals, and cozy sweatshirts as part of their registration, plus the chance to snap a photo with Rudy, the famous reindeer! We extend a special thanks to our generous sponsors for making this event possible—come run, walk, and spread holiday cheer while making a difference in our community!
