Description
What better way to start the Holidays than with a chance to run through a Holiday Light Display! If you came out last year, you'll remember how AH-mazing these lights were! We are adding additional offsite parking, and running shuttles to be able to accommodate more participants this year, so come on out to see the beautiful display!
We have the entire Veteran's Memorial Park in Canton, so there won't be any traffic beeping to pressure you to run faster. You can race through, do a leisurely jog, or walk the 5K course, starting at 6 PM. We'll have chip timing, great race shirts, finisher medals & awards for the Overalls, Masters, Grand Masters, Senior Masters, and the Top three in all the usual five year age groups.
After the race, you may even hop in your car and drive through to enjoy the lights again with music!
If you're coming with family/friends, we ask that you try to carpool!
* Head lamp / light is suggested
New for 2022 - Shuttles for parking! See information below.

Event Beneficiary
This event is fundraising for Serv International.
SERV Food Local is a locally focused program of SERV International, which aspires to work together with a community of volunteers and monthly donors to change the lives of local families in need. It is located at 3145 Marietta Highway Canton, GA 30114.
Mission Statement
SERV’s mission, both globally and locally, is to use food as a platform to share Christ.
How the local chapter helps the community:
SERV Food Local starts by providing families with one of the most essential items one can give: Food. With the help of community volunteers, SERV Food Local currently packs out over 800 food boxes each month for families in need.
As an organization, SERV International reaches far and wide to distribute life-saving food to children and adults, the elderly, and refugees living in complex regions; areas of operations include Ukraine, Jordan, and Kenya. Since 2019, SERV began partnering on a local level with individuals and organizations to identify and serve food to families with the greatest needs, those in need of temporary relief, or those just looking for a helping hand. With the help of local communities across the Atlanta area, SERV Food Local aims to ensure families don't have to choose between putting food on the table, gas in the tank, or paying vital bills.
More info about SERV Food Local, as well as local volunteer opportunities, can be found at: Servone.org/foodlocal
