About the Fulton Illuminated Christmas Run/Walk
The course follows the bike path along the Mississippi River, lit by hundreds of luminaries for the evening. It is a short, flat route with the river right there beside you, and the glow of the candles makes it feel nothing like a typical road race.
The race runs alongside Fulton's Christmas Walk, so the town is already in full holiday mode when you finish. Post-race, there is pizza and homemade cookies at a local restaurant nearby. Packet pickup details are worth checking closer to race day, as the event draws from the surrounding community.
