Join us on a trail run while chasing Santa or Mrs. Claus! SCPS welcomes our Savannah area community to come out and run our campus trails. The first runner to beat Santa across the 5k finish line wins the Prize! Beat Mrs. Claus in the One mile wins her Prize! Holiday costumes are encouraged as there will be a Costume Contest. Due to the natural terrain of the trails, strollers are difficult to navigate for the 5k but fine on the 1 mile.
There will be a fun 1/4 mile kids fun run around the Eckburg Center. Each child that completes the 1/4 mile will receive a medal. T-shirts can be purchased for the fun run participants for $10 in the registration process.
This event offers food vendors, face painting, and fun holiday activities for the family.
All proceeds will benefit SCPS PTF.
