ATSU Reindeer Romp

Get ready to jingle all the way at the Annual Reindeer Romp 4-Mile Run & 1.5-Mile Walk!
This merry tradition is the perfect way to dash into the holiday season with a jolly heart and festive flair. Join us for a holly-jolly morning where twinkling lights, cheerful tunes, and community spirit come together.

Whether you’re racing through the 4-mile course like a reindeer in flight or strolling the 1.5-mile walk to soak in the holiday magic, you’ll be spreading cheer and making a meaningful difference for those in need.

On race day, we’ll be collecting food and toys at both Dukum Inn and the Thompson Campus Center (TCC)—a perfect opportunity to embrace the true spirit of giving by giving back to The Salvation Army and the Radio Park Food Drive! Every registered runner and walker will receive a cozy long-sleeve T-shirt, jingle bells to make spirits bright, and festive post-race refreshments to keep your energy merry and high.

After you cross the finish line, unwind with a soft tissue massage provided by the SAAO stretch clinic—the perfect way to stay frosty-free and ready to frolic all season long!

🎁 The best part? Proceeds from the Reindeer Romp will be equally divided between the MODSOH 2028 class, the KCOM 2028 class, and the A.T. Still University Student Emergency Fund, helping support future healthcare heroes and students facing unexpected challenges. So, lace up your sneakers, don your best holiday gear, and bring your brightest festive cheer to the Reindeer Romp—a magical, merry, and meaningful way to celebrate the season with friends, family, and your ATSU community!
