About the OH WHAT FUN HOLIDAY RUN
This is a holiday-themed road race in Avon Lake, with a shorter fun run option alongside the main distance. Expect festive gear on course and holiday music in the air. The route is open to runners and walkers alike, and the whole thing is tied to a local dance company and a children's charity, so the crowd skews toward families.
The after-party moves indoors to a nearby pizza bar, where raffles and awards follow the run. Hot coffee and hot chocolate come from a local donut vendor. The start area is in Avon Lake.
