Wear your most festive Christmas running gear to the 3rd Annual Reindeer 5K Run/Walk on November 26, 2016 at 8 am. Our 5K encourages participation by the entire family, including canines on leashes! It promotes the holiday season through costume contests for adults, children and pets while also broadening community participation in healthy events. Runners and walkers will begin the race at the Anna Arts Center, 125 West Davie St, Anna, Illinois and head into the "fruit bowl" section of town. The race is a down and back with the start and finish lines at the Anna Arts Center. Timing services will be provided by Run to Succeed.
There will also be a Kids Fun Run that morning starting at 9 am. So bring the kids along too! Kids will participate in a short race, approximately 1/4 mile, to catch Rudolf and Santa Claus, then they will have the opportunity to make two crafts to take home. The Fun Run and crafts are free for kids of all ages.
This event will kick off "Christmas in Downtown Anna."
