About the Rehab Reindeer Run

This one runs at night through a residential neighborhood decked out in Christmas lights, which makes for a genuinely different atmosphere than most local races. The route loops the same circle a couple of times, so you see the same displays more than once, which is not a complaint when the lights are good. It starts and ends at an outpatient therapy clinic on Homer Road.

Packet pickup is available the evening before at the same clinic, with another window on race morning. After the race, fruit, snacks, and hot chocolate are out for everyone who sticks around for the awards.

Common Questions About the Rehab Reindeer Run

Will I finish last at the Rehab Reindeer Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:53, and the last recorded finisher came in around 45:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Rehab Reindeer Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (75 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Rehab Reindeer Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:51 while the median finisher took 31:53. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
