About the Run The Lights - Sandusky
The course runs through Washington Park, where Christmas displays line the route, and begins and ends on Columbus Avenue under the holiday lights. It is an evening event, so the decorations are fully lit the whole way through. The atmosphere leans toward the seasonal rather than the competitive.
The race is woven into the Sandusky Christmas Market, which is running the same night. Staying after to walk the market is built into the plan, and the post-race scene there makes the whole evening feel like more than just a run.
