Jenn 's thoughts:

This is a really fun race! All the proceeds benefit the Children's Miracle Network, so it's a great race for a great cause.

The cool part is that this 5K is completely at night, but the roads are lit by luminaries. I will be honest and say that it can get a little dark, so it's important to keep your eyes open. It gets crowded in the midpack, so you'll be doing some dodging of people for a little bit.

The course runs through San Marco, and it's really cool to see all the houses lit up. The race starts and finishes in San Marco Square, which is set up into a little Christmas village, complete with a Santa!

All participants are given jingle bells to wear on their shoes, and a lot of people dress up. It's a great Christmas themed race!
