We encourage participants and volunteers to help support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program by bringing a new, non-gift wrapped toy on race day for a child in need this holiday season.

Costume Contest

Santa and his helpers will pick the top three costumes in each category and the crowd will help decide the first, second and third place winners. Prizes will be awarded to all winners.

Join in the fun! Interested registered race participants should meet (pre-race) at 8:45 a.m. in the parking lot on the west side of the tent. Categories are: groups of three or more (prizes to twelve); pairs; and individuals.

The top five women and the top five men will receive awards at 10:15 a.m. at the announcer's stand. No official results will be kept, since this is a fun run. A display clock will be at the finish line, so watch for your time.
