• All runners will be assigned a “role” of either reindeer or elf. They will not know which they are until packet pick-up
• There will be no switching roles. It would make life very difficult on our race scorers. Thank you for understanding.

• Online registration will close at 3:00pm on Saturday, December 7. In-person registration and packet pick-up will close on Saturday at 4:00pm.

• We encourage all participants to stay and watch the Lewisville Christmas Parade after Santa’s Showdown.

• The only individual awards that will be distributed are top male/female reindeer and top male/female elf. But don’t fret, every race finisher will receive a small award/gift that Santa has designed himself.
