The Candy Cane Course Cincinnati is a yearly Christmas-themed race day offering several participation options: 5K, 10K, 15K, 1 mile, Kids Dash, Volunteer then Run, and a virtual race. It is designed for families and mixed groups, featuring youth pricing for the 5K and 10K and a Kids Dash for children age 10 and under.
The longer race distances include chip timing with live results and awards. The 1 mile and Kids Dash are untimed. Participants in the 5K, 10K, 15K, and 1 mile receive a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. Kids Dash participants get a mini bib, a youth-sized shirt, and their own medal. The finish area provides free participant photos and treats. The virtual race allows participation from any location while still earning event merchandise.
