Get ready to jingle all the way through beautiful Mile Square Park at the Holly Jolly Run — a festive and family-friendly race full of holiday cheer, candy canes, and good vibes! Whether you're racing for a PR or strolling in a Santa hat, there’s a distance for everyone!

🅿️ Location & Parking

• Parking Directions: Enter through the main gate off Euclid, then make a left into the first parking lot on your left (Lot PA).
• Restrooms: Clean, open restrooms are available near the start line.

🚗 Parking Info

Parking is $7.00 per car and yes — the rangers absolutely know you’re supposed to pay. Don’t test them… they’ve got ranger senses stronger than Santa’s sleigh radar.

💵 Payment Options

You can pay cash or credit at the gate, but if you want to keep the line moving and avoid getting side-eyed by a ranger in a festive hat… bring cash. It’s faster, easier, and keeps the jingle in your step.
