AdventHealth Howey-in-the-Hills Reindeer Dash 5K presented by LiveTrends Design Group

Let's kick off the holiday season with our friends in the town of Howey-in-the-Hills as we run or walk the Reindeer Dash 5K on beautiful Lakeshore Blvd. The route takes runners on paved roads with a short run through Sarah Maude Mason Preserve for a little off road fun. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates and sneak peaks at the race swag.

All participants will receive a chip timed bib, a race shirt, a finisher's medal and a post race snack and beverage. All runners and walkers on the course MUST BE REGISTERED. Anyone running without a bib is subjecting themselves to a misdemeanor and putting the race in jeopardy.  If you want to pace a child, spouse or friend, you MUST register as well. BANDIT AND PACING RULES

Participant donations along with part of the proceeds from the race will go to the Town of Howey-in-the-Hills to help local non profit organizations like the local food pantry.  Please consider making a donation of any kind to help our  neighbors.
