About the Sleigh the Day 5K / 10K
The course runs through Silver Springs State Park on natural Florida trail, shaded forest paths that keep things cool even during the holiday season. It is a genuine off-road route through the park's landscape, not a road race with a gravel shoulder. Holiday costumes are part of the scene, so expect Santa hats and reindeer antlers at the start line.
Silver Springs State Park is the venue, so parking and access follow the park's setup. The race offers both a shorter and a longer distance, with staggered start times in the morning.
