About this race

Oh what fun it is to RUN! Join us for a special Pony Run (Saturday Edition) at 4:30 pm on Saturday, November 22! We are leading a 1-, 3- or 5-mile route. Expect a good time and treat yourself to a warm drink for a job well done! The run is free and all levels/speeds are welcome. After the run and walk we'll get cozy and shine bright with the lights at Ponysaurus. 

The lights are back and the beer garden has never been toastier!! Join us for the Ponysaurus Wonderland Lighting and watch the beer garden glow: fire pits, heaters, and all 🔥🔥 And for the first time ever, our patio spaces will be FULLY ENCLOSED, so you’ll be nice and cozy all season long 😌  

Sip on hot drinks like Spiced Apple Cider, Sexy Hot Chocolate, or Gluhwein, our German mulled wine, and take the keepsake glass mug home with you! And of course, we’ll have S’mores Dessert Pizzas, because no holiday kickoff is complete without a little melted chocolate magic 🍫✨
