We would love to see all our runners dressed up as Santa, and of course there is a prize for the jolliest looking Santa at the event!
Our fastest Santas in the 5k, male and female will be awarded!

We knew we couldn't have a bunch of santas running around without providing his favorite snack! Therefore to keep all you Santas fueled properly, our elves at Midpointe Library have stocked up for a milk and cookie aid station!
