Event Description
The Red Suit Pursuit 5K kicks off the Belleview Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 6, 2026. Runners start at 1:30 PM on SE Abshier Blvd in downtown Belleview, run the opening stretch of the parade route as the crowds gather, wind through Belleview neighborhoods, and finish at Lake Lillian Park before the parade steps off at 2:00 PM.
