About the Candyland Christmas 5K
The course starts at Springdale Estates and winds through a holiday installation with custom-built cottages and giant decorated trees, then passes through some of the older parts of town. The terrain has genuine rolling hills along the way, so expect to work a little. It is a true neighborhood run, and the decorations around you are the scenery.
After the race, the broader event stays open with ice skating, train rides, and snow machines on site. It is worth arriving early to settle in, since the whole area turns into a weekend destination around the holidays.
