Event Description

You may know and love California’s Great America, but we invite you to see it in a whole new way, first with a Run & Ride race through the park, then with an evening at Winterfest! Choose a half-marathon, quarter-marathon, 5K, or 1-mile fun run in and around the park before the gates are even open to the public. Or choose the 5-hour lap race to earn as many medals as you can! Participants enjoy some fabulous swag--entrance to Winterfest and an amazing finisher medal!

This year we have added a relay option for the half distance so you can double the fun with friends. The transition area will be located in the Great America Pavilion with ongoing entertainment and food options, so as you wait for your handoff, you will be all smiles before running the miles.

You don’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind race. Bring the family along! It’s a day of fun for everyone with a run in and around the park and California’s Great America magically transformed into a winter wonderland with holiday lights and decor, decorated trees, some rides and attractions, live shows, Santa’s workshop, and lots more wintertime fun.
