You can choose from 8K Competitive Race, 8K Recreational Run, and a Kid's Dash (age 8 and under). Competitive participants receive a long-sleeve, gender-specific technical race shirt and chip timing by Precision Race. Recreational 8K runners receive a race t-shirt.
We can no longer offer a 1 mile fun run. The 8K will now start 30 minutes earlier (at 8 am). This will allow Whole Foods to open earlier and let you and get back home earlier to get the turkey in the oven (or fryer).
The 8K is capped at 3,000 runners and has sold out for the past two years. Register now so you don't miss out on the holiday fun!
