The event itself had a a joyful Santa Clause full decked out and MCing his jolly self through the entire 5k race, a ton of awesome holiday swag to make yourself a santa for a day and the goodies and treats afterwards were all holiday themed from M&Ms, bananas, water, cookies and hot chocolate.

Great age group awards afterwards for all age ranges, which was a nice nice and topical coffee/hot cocoa mug and a spoon and there was a toy drive there for Toys-for-tots.

Parking was super easy with enough people helping you get into a parking lot, the course itself was a little odd and fun, due to ice conditions and just trying to navigate through some snow, ice and mud/grass areas, but for safety concerns and overall race management kudos, there were plenty of people out warning runners on the course conditions and of certain dicey spots.

The medal is a great item, that is holiday-themed and is of nice quality and again, such a nice and family-friendly ordeal that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to get outside, get the legs moving ahead of the holidays and get the whole family out for a fun-filled morning to celebrate with Santa.
