Christmas in the Park 2026

Christmas in the Park is a December race held at Deming Park, 500 S Fruitridge Ave, Terre Haute, Indiana. Chick-fil-A of Terre Haute sponsors the event, which is associated with Wabash Valley Road Runners. The race features a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a 1-mile youth race known as the Reindeer Romp. Proceeds benefit Clothe a Child, with half of the funds directed to the organization. The Reindeer Romp begins before the 5K events. The 5K run and walk start later. Both adults and youth may participate in the 5K, while the Reindeer Romp is exclusively for youth. Awards are presented for overall finishers, in 5-year age categories, and for walkers. Walk participants should not run, as walkers are scored separately.
