Elf Off the Shelf Fun Run

The Elf Off the Shelf Fun Run is a 2-mile evening run in Ripley, West Virginia. It begins at Ripley City Hall on South Church Street. This is the fourth and final race in the Main Street Ripley 4 Seasons Race Series. It is scheduled just before the town’s Christmas Parade, positioning it as a community run rather than a competitive race. The route circles the avenues and concludes at the Courthouse Lawn, preceding the City Christmas Celebration. Participants are encouraged to wear their Christmas attire, allowing for costumes and holiday outfits alongside standard running gear. Awards add a seasonal touch, with Santa Claus potentially presenting them.
