Race Description

Yule Run Clinton is a combined 5k walk/run and 8k run through Clinton's historic Olde Towne! The race dashes and dances from Jefferson Street to Clinton Boulevard, which takes runners through the route of the annual city-wide Christmas parade. This year’s run begins at 7:00 am, but we hope not to see anyone running as frantically as gingerbread men! The race concludes at 10 am, allowing the entire family to wind down by enjoying the parade immediately following the race. If you can’t make it in person, the Clinton Chamber offers a virtual race option for participants who would love to join the fun from a distance! Regardless of the way you race, you’ll get all the holiday feels in this year’s Yule Run Clinton!
