Event Description

A Healthy Holiday

Rudolph won’t be the only one running through Riverside this December. Dash into the holidays at the Riverside Reindeer Run Half Marathon, 5k and Kids Run on Dec. 2. This scenic course will be sprinkled with a flurry of holiday cheer including carolers at the finish line, Santa Claus appearances and the “Santa Lane”– a section of the course filled with holiday music, decorations and entertainment.

Every runner will also receive free commemorative Reindeer Antlers or a Santa Hat for the race in addition to a high-quality finisher’s medal, tech T-shirt, food, Sierra Nevada beer and free finish photo. Don your best apparel, grab your best elves and get ready to run!

December marks the final 2018 LaceUp running event. It is a festive time in Riverside where the city is bustling around the Festival of Lights at the famous Mission Inn. The city sights and holiday happenings make this a race experience for the entire family.

2018 Update: In an effort to reduce course congestion, there will be no 10K distance offered in 2018. We hope you’ll join us for the Half Marathon or 5K!
