While we will miss all of our runners this year, for the safety of everyone, we are cancelling our 2020 race. We have come to this conclusion due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and Governor Holcomb's new restrictions. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and we will see you next year! 

Here Are Your Options:

You understand that events are expensive, even when cancelled, and you want us to keep your registration fees to help cover our costs. We deeply appreciate your generosity and your support of youth throughout Northwest Indiana. 

We understand the cost of running races throughout the year. We hope you can join us next year!
