About the Chino Valley YMCA Reindeer Romp 5K
The course runs through Ayala Park on flat ground, so it is forgiving underfoot and quick. There is a costume contest for kids and families, which gives the morning a holiday feel without making it feel like a parade. Most people seem to show up dressed for the season.
Packet pickup is the evening before at the Chino Valley YMCA, with a second window on race morning before the start. Both options give you flexibility depending on how your weekend looks.
