About the Rotary Santa Run Walk & Reindeer Dash
This is a Rotary Club fundraiser, and the money goes toward a local community grants program. The race carries a holiday theme, with the name suggesting costumes are part of the morning. It reads like the kind of outing where the Santa suit matters as much as the finish.
