The 12Ks of Christmas features a 12K, 5K, and Little Elf Run, offering a distance for everyone—from experienced runners to families participating together. Holiday costumes, cheerful music, and plenty of seasonal spirit will make this much more than an ordinary race.
Both the start and finish will be located at Redmond Town Center, creating a lively and convenient holiday gathering place for runners, walkers, families, and spectators. The 5K and 12K courses will take participants from Redmond Town Center onto the scenic trails surrounding downtown Redmond before bringing everyone back for a festive finish.
