Reindeer Run 5K 2026

Dash through the streets with holiday glee at the 13th annual Lions Charities Reindeer Run 5K! Feel the festive energy as you don your Santa hats and jingle all the way to the finish line in Downtown Wheaton. Not only is this a chance to show your holiday spirit, it's a race where every stride counts with the precision of chip timing. Sweep past your fellow runners and you might just snag a prize in your age category, not to mention scoring some stylish swag – everyone gets a long-sleeve tech t-shirt and a pair of antlers to rock around the Christmas tree! Race on December 7 or go virtual and jolly jog anytime between December 7-16. Don’t forget, packet pickup is as easy as a sleigh ride, with two convenient dates and locations. Let the reindeer games begin!
