About the Reindeer Run and Grinch Sprint
This race is part of the town's Christmas program, so the atmosphere reflects that. Kids run through a make-believe holiday village with characters from the story, while the longer route is a more straightforward road race. Santa and the Grinch stick around after the runs for photos.
Packet pickup happens earlier in the race week at the Cross Timbers YMCA, with race-morning pickup available as well. After you finish, there is coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, and pancakes on site.
