About the Reindeer Trot 5K
This is a holiday-themed 5K in Fort Smith that raises money to send kids to summer camp. The course starts at a single address, so the route stays close to home base, and the morning draws a mix of people in festive costumes alongside more serious runners. The charitable purpose gives it a bit more weight than a typical seasonal race.
