About the Holiday Grinch 5K
The route starts and finishes at a brewery in downtown Puyallup, threading through the city center in between. Costumes are encouraged, and Grinch gear is the clear theme, so expect a colorful crowd. There is also a toy drive running alongside the race, with donations going to children in the area.
After the run, a pancake breakfast fundraiser takes place at the finish, with proceeds supporting a local foundation. It is a good reason to linger rather than head straight to the car.
