About the Hometown Christmas 5K
The course runs through James D. Beville City Park, and the morning is timed to kick off a full day of local holiday events. The town has a parade and a shopping event on the square later, so the park tends to draw people who are sticking around rather than rushing home.
Packet pickup and race-morning registration both happen at the park pavilion, so there is no separate trip the day before if you do not want one. The race shares its day with the broader Hometown Christmas celebration, which means the area is already coming alive by the time runners finish.
