About the Christmas 5K/10K/Half Marathon in July - Shreveport
The race follows a trail along the Red River at Walker Place Park, with several distance options to choose from. The terrain is gently rolling rather than genuinely flat, but nothing on the course will slow you down much. The holiday-in-summer theme means expect some seasonal decoration and costumed energy on course, even in the heat.
Packet pickup happens on race morning, opening about an hour before the start, with an earlier pickup option at a Holiday Inn Express in Shreveport added when available. Awards go to top finishers across age groups for all distances, men and women separately.
