Event Description
Race:
We are joining in the celebration of the Town of Buena Vista's Christmas Opening with a family friendly race!
Come out in your ugliest holiday sweater as you tour the town on foot.
When you finish, stick around for all the festivities!
All runners will receive a Chocolate Walk card!
Kids Fun Run:
Our kids are welcome to galavant around South Main for the Fun Run which will take place before the race.
All the young participants will be rewarded with a special holiday prize.
Online registration will STAY OPEN to race day!
For 2023, we will have Early Bird Registration and Late Registration.
While we love to provide our runners with amazing race swag, we also must keep our cost (and yours) down by ensuring that we are not wasteful with our orders.
Race swag is not guaranteed if you register within the two week window before the event.
Register early to ensure you get the goods!
