About the Run Run Rudolph 2 Mile Run/Walk
The route runs through historic downtown Hanford, starting and finishing near Civic Center Park, which the organizers dress up as a winter holiday scene. The course is closed to traffic and stays flat the whole way, so there is nothing technical underfoot. Dogs on leash are welcome, as are strollers, with the ask that both start toward the back.
Packet pickup is held the day before the race at Civic Center Park, with race-morning pickup available as well. Arrive early on race day if you are picking up then, since lines tend to build before the start. The kids' fun run goes off first, with parents welcome to run alongside for free.

The Run Run Rudolph 2 Mile Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
