About the Santa Sleigh 5K: Run for a Claus
The course runs through downtown Metter, starting in front of City Hall. It is a holiday-themed race with costume categories, so expect plenty of festive outfits on the course. Dogs on leashes, strollers, and wagons are welcome, which shapes the feel of the morning as much as anything else.
The race benefits the Metter High School Beta Club, covering travel and competition costs for student members. A portion of proceeds also goes directly to a former student recovering from a serious injury, so the entry fee carries some weight beyond the finish line.
