Event – Christmas Carol Classic 1M, 5K, 10K, Doubles & Tiny Tim Youth Run
Surprise inside – Family/Team categories are still super low – for 5K/10K single registration categories only – put DICKENS into the promotional code for a surprise!
For participants of all levels – for families, friends and colleagues, corporate, church and school groups … the Christmas Carol Classic 1M/5K/10K & Tiny Tim Fun Run is THE holiday celebration event of the season! Come out and earn your finisher and awards medals, tech t-shirts, hot chocolate, and much, much more! And be prepared to be inspired as the Original Dickens Carolers grace the plaza at City Park in full Dickensian costume, blending phenomenal voices that ring with authenticity the true spirit of the season. Pets and strollers allowed; just the usual rules 😉 (courteous of others, leashed sociable pets, strollers to the rear and be super careful — it’s a crowded course with 2-way traffic).
New this year – make it a Double Dickens of a Christmas Run Season! Earn your Double Dickens Christmas medals and awards – see the Doubles registration opportunities below!
