About the Reindeer Run at the Ranch, Franklin, TX
The course runs through Franklin Ranch Community Park, a setting that fits the holiday-costume crowd well. The route is a straightforward out-and-back or loop through park grounds, open to runners and walkers. A costume contest covers adults, kids, and leashed pets, which tells you something about the mood of the morning.
Hot chocolate is waiting at the finish, and the post-race area fills out with food, music, face-painting, games, and photo spots. It is a park event as much as a race, so families tend to stick around well after the last runner comes through.
