The morning opens with a group warm-up and stretch, then the professionally timed 5K, with the Kids Dash after it, followed by food and drinks at the Galleria. Every Kids Dash runner receives a finisher jingle-bell medal, while 5K medals go to the top three male and female finishers in each age group, including a 1–12 group. The course is stroller-friendly and the event is designed for all experience levels; children 0–18 can run the Kids Dash, though many 12 and older choose the 5K, and younger children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The first 100 registrants get a race shirt, with kids' sizes for the first 25 Kids Dash registrations. There is no race-day registration and the race goes ahead rain or shine. ## Similar picks in Austin - [Austin Trail of Lights Fun Run](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/austin-trail-of-lights-fun-run--listing-578dde22f5206b0466f9b527) — Sat, Dec 5 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Zilker Park (start at the Zilker Holiday Tree) · All ages · From $20 · checked Oct 27.
