Event Description

Celebrate the holiday spirit in the middle of summer at the Christmas in July 5K/10K/Half Marathon MEET UP!  This means Santa is on Vacay!

WHOA!!!

This is definitely something different!  Part Virtual - Part Live Event!

You run your 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon on your own (when ever you want); then come by the "Finish Line/Party" between 9 am - 12 pm and collect all your swag.  That's right...Finisher Medal, Race Shirt, Bib, and...Age Group Awards (but ya gotta finish before 10:00 am on Meet Up Day so we have results for those age group awards).  You can finish afterwards, but we won't have award pins for you at the Meet up.

We'll have a good time, Photo Back Drop, Christmas music, and all the swag!

Come on out and join us at Nixon's Coffee House (Behind Hundson Gardens on the Platte Trail, so it's super easy to get that run in before we start) .

This festive Event brings all the cheer of the season—without the cold—giving athletes a fun and energetic way to race during the warm summer months.

Whether you’re tackling the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon, you’ll enjoy a spirited race atmosphere filled with holiday flair, seasonal fun, and motivation from start to finish. Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome to join in the celebration.

All athletes who cross the finish line will receive a custom finisher medal and a spirited, race-themed shirt to commemorate their accomplishment. Awards will be presented to men and women for all three distances to the top finishers in the usual five-year age groups, starting at 10 & Under.

Break out the holiday cheer, lace up your running shoes, and make summer miles merry at the Christmas in July 5K/10K/Half Marathon.

And don't forget those costumed photos...Dress up to get your Sack of Goodies.
