About the Village of Norridge 5K Reindeer Run and Kids Dash
The course starts and finishes in a parking lot at the corner of two main streets in Norridge, so the start area doubles as the gathering place for everything happening around the race. The route is chip-timed for the main distance, while a shorter kids dash runs untimed earlier in the morning.
Packet pickup is available the day before at Norridge Village Hall, or at the race site starting race morning. Parking is in the rear lot off the north side of the property, with street parking along both bordering roads as well. After the race, there is free hot chocolate, live music, face painting, a photo booth, and Santa making an appearance at the finish area.
