About this race
Join us for our annual celebration of running and holiday cheer! Run through scenic Shorty Howell park and support Rainbow Village. Red beans and rice, snacks and a DJ music for a post race party! Raffle prizes and age group awards.
Registration is still open. However, anyone registering between now and the start of the race is paying $10 less because we can't guarantee a T-shirt. If we do have extra shirts and you decide you want one, we will charge you $10 morning of the race.
Long sleeve t-shirt only guaranteed to anyone signed up by 4 PM on Friday, December 26. Tshirts will be available while supplies last for anyone who signs up after this time. If you do not get a shirt, we will refund $10.
Tshirt and bib number pick up will start at 7:45 AM at the pavilion, near the start and finish line. See course map for location.
Rainbow Village offers housing and supportive programs for families who have experienced homelessness. Our Duluth campus features 30 apartments, each available to a family for up to two years. In 2024, we served 50 families. Fundraising goal: $2000 would provide 10 beds, ensuring that new families moving into Rainbow Village have a comfortable place to rest.
