Tharptown Christmas Display 2nd Annual Run Run Rudolph 5k

The Run Run Rudolph 5K is a Christmas-themed 5K starting at the Tharptown Christmas Display, inspired by the movie A Christmas Story. This is the race's second edition. The course incorporates specific scenes and jokes from the film, using the holiday display as more than just a setting. The route guides runners past locations referencing Ralphie’s Red Ryder BB gun dream and the triple-dog-dare scene. Participants are encouraged to wear festive A Christmas Story costumes, so expect runners to embrace the movie theme alongside the 5K.
