About the Reindeer Run

The Reindeer Run follows the Maryville Greenbelt, a paved path that winds through the city. The course has traffic in places, so headphones are not advised. A shorter fun run option shares the same start area, and an awards ceremony with age-group prizes and door drawings wraps up the afternoon at the Greenbelt Amphitheater.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at a sporting goods store in a nearby shopping center, with check-in also available at the amphitheater before the race starts. Post-race refreshments are served on site after the finish, and the awards ceremony follows shortly after.

Common Questions About the Reindeer Run

Will I finish last at the Reindeer Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Reindeer Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 261 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Reindeer Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:16 while the median finisher took 32:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
