Santa's Fun Run

Join us for our Santa's Fun Run! This event will include a 5K and a Kid's Dash (0.5 miles). The 5k will be chip timed and will start and finish at the Olson Cultural Event Center in downtown Le Mars and will lead you through residential Le Mars and onto our recreation trail. The Kids Dash will start just before the 5K. The kids will run 0.5 miles, out-and-back. (not chip-timed)
