About the Holiday Lights @ the Rails 5K & Kids Dash
The course follows a paved trail through a pair of city parks, looping between them so you pass through both. The whole thing is lit up with holiday displays, so you are running past lights the entire way. Christmas music plays along the route, and the atmosphere is more evening stroll than hard effort, even if you are racing. Hot chocolate and Christmas cookies are at the finish.
Packet pickup is in the park before the start, so there is no need to go anywhere else beforehand. Post-race festivities run for a stretch after the last finisher, with music still going. Parking details were not something shared, but the start and finish are both at Depot Street Park.

The Holiday Lights @ the Rails 5K & Kids Dash has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
