Reindeer Run 2024 | Hammond, LA

Join us on Dec. 7 for the 12th Annual Reindeer Run! 

Get ready for the most exciting event of the Christmas season! The Reindeer Run is back with its annual Christmas-themed chip-timed 5K race and 1-mile run/walk in the heart of historic Downtown Hammond, Louisiana. Join us for this unique and festive community favorite, made possible by title sponsor Davie Shoring and the valued assistance of our amazing support partners.

All participants in both the 5K and 1-mile fun run are guaranteed to receive a custom finisher medal after their events. These medals are not just tokens, but a symbol of your achievement and our appreciation for your participation. This will be an exciting event for both seasoned runners and families - a great time for all!

We want to make sure that everyone can participate in our family event. That's why we happily welcome strollers, including jogging strollers, onto the course. We believe in creating an inclusive community event where everyone can join in the fun. If you're bringing your little one in a stroller, they don't need to be registered unless you'd like them to receive a finisher medal too.

Packet pickup: Reindeer Run 2024 packet pickup will be announced closer to race day.
