About the Who-liday 5k
This is a holiday-themed race put on by the city itself, with a costume tradition baked in. Runners and walkers are encouraged to dress up in their best seasonal gear, which tends to give the start line a festive, mismatched energy. The entry is free, with a toy donation for Toys for Tots asked in place of a registration fee.
The race is organized at the city level and backed by a handful of local sponsors, so the atmosphere is genuinely neighborly. Beyond that, logistics like parking and packet pickup were not spelled out in what was shared, but the donation-based entry and community backing suggest a straightforward, welcoming morning.
