The course runs through the historic downtown district, so you get old storefronts and street-level character rather than a park path. It is a road race with a holiday costume element baked in, and people take that seriously enough that there is a trophy for the most spirited outfit.
Proceeds go to local community causes through the organizing group. The start area draws families and groups of friends in Christmas gear, which sets the tone for the morning pretty early.
