About the Red Suit Pursuit 5K
This race is woven into Belleview's Christmas Parade, so the course runs along part of the parade route while the crowd is still gathering along the sidewalks. From the start on SE Abshier Boulevard in downtown Belleview, the route winds through surrounding neighborhoods before finishing at Lake Lillian Park. Costumes are strongly encouraged, and plenty of runners show up in full Santa suits.
Proceeds support a foundation honoring a late local police chief, with the mission of funding nonprofits and programs that serve families in the area. Because the race finishes just before the parade begins, sticking around after you cross the line puts you right in the middle of the celebration.
