C3's 3rd Annual Santa Trot - 5k!

C3's Santa Trot is a December holiday 5K based at MidPointe Library in West Chester, Ohio. The main 5K offers both timed and untimed starts, with the timed runners going first at noon and the untimed group one minute later. The event also includes two free kids options: a timed 1-mile Elf Run and a shorter Little Elf Run. The race is tied to the West Chester Township Holiday Market at Mulhauser Barn, which runs through the afternoon. Runners are encouraged to show up in holiday gear, so the field is built around Santa hats and seasonal outfits as much as finish times. Awards follow the 5K before the kids races begin, making the schedule easy for families who want to race, watch, and visit the market in one outing.
