Event Description
The holidays are a wonderful time of year when we look forward to all the joys of the season, but sometimes it can be difficult to stay motivated through all the hustle and bustle. Register for the 12Ks of Christmas to help you stay active and healthy all season long! Choose from the popular Wreath medal or the all new Christmas Tree medal!
This is your Challenge to complete during the month of December 2024. We recommend/suggest 3 different ways to complete it. It's your choice!
1. The Super 12K Challenge – Run or walk a cumulative 12K within 12 days, anytime during the month of December 2023. You can complete this all at once or you can accumulate distance over the 12 days until you reach your 12K goal!
2. The Mega 12 days run or walk Challenge - Run or walk 5k per day for any 12 days during the month of December. When finished, you will have completed 60k/37.3 miles!
3. The Ultimate 12 Days run or walk Challenge – This follows the traditional 12 days of Christmas theme song! Day 1 = run/walk 1K, Day 2 = 2K and so on… until you reach 12K on the 12th day! When you’re finished you will have completed 78k/48.5 miles in 12 days!
12K's Of Christmas Challenge participants will receive:
