About the Reindeer Run 5K Run/Walk & Youth Mile Run
The Reindeer Run starts and finishes at the Lawrence Community Center in Anamosa, a setup that keeps things compact and easy to navigate. Chip timing is used for the main race, and there is also a youth mile on the card, so families often show up together. Dressing in holiday costume is genuinely encouraged, not just tolerated.
Packet pickup details are still being worked out by the organizers, with an early option expected before race day. The community center serves as the hub for everything, so the start area and post-race gathering are in the same spot.
