## About

An all-ages 5K run and walk in downtown Auburn on December 19, 2026, with an in-person start at 9:30 a.m. PST. Participants choose Team Santa or Team Grinch and are encouraged to wear themed athletic apparel. Each registered participant is listed to receive an official event T-shirt and a finisher medal. The medal requires completing the 5K, running or walking, and submitting that completion through the results portal. People who cannot attend can register for a virtual team, run at their own location, and submit a result between December 19 and December 25, 2026; virtual finishers get the shirt and medal by mail and are not placed. The race page gives the location as 855 Pacific Ave, Auburn, and says the in-person price increases after November 29, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PST. It does not print a park name.
