Lions Charities Reindeer Run

The Lions Charities Reindeer Run is a winter 5K beginning in Downtown Wheaton, with participants able to join either in person or virtually. As a holiday-themed race, the field is encouraged to wear Santa hats, jingle bells, and other festive gear. Every runner receives a long-sleeve tech shirt and antlers. The in-person event is presented by the Wheaton Park District and Wheaton Lions Club Charities. The race supports Lions charity work for people with visual and hearing impairments. A portion of the proceeds also benefits local social service causes, including groups like the DuPage County Historical Museum.
