Lawrenceville, IL
The race runs through Lawrenceville City Park and leans hard into the holiday theme. Runners pick a side before they even toe the line, showing up dressed as Santa, the Grinch, or in whatever Christmas costume they can pull together. The course is open to all paces, and the costumes are half the entertainment.
