Event Description
5K:
We are joining in the celebration of the Town of Buena Vista's Christmas Opening with a family friendly 5K!
Come out in your ugliest holiday sweater as you tour the town on foot.
When you finish, why not jump in the Arkansas River for the Polar Plunge?
All 5K runners will receive a Chocolate Walk card!
Kids Fun Run:
Our kids (ages 0-10) are welcome to galavant around South Main for the Fun Run which will take place before the 5K. 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.
At the two week mark, we will not be able to guarantee that you will receive race swag.
Register early and ensure you get the goods!
