10th Annual - Sarasota Christmas Glow Run 5k

The Sarasota Christmas Glow Run 5K is a holiday 5K held at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. It begins at 5:45 PM, following the national anthem and pre-race instructions. This is a chip-timed run or walk designed for families. Registration includes glow products, and the event features Christmas lights, music, and nighttime colors, moving away from a standard road race atmosphere. The course winds around the lake within the park, concluding with a snowfall effect at the finish line and medals for all finishers. Participants can be tracked using the Elite Events Tracker App. The event provides tech shirts and cotton tanks, available on a first-come, first-served basis during packet pickup. This marks the 10th annual running of the event, which maintains course records for overall and age-group categories, allowing both casual walkers and competitive runners to experience the same holiday-themed course.
