Description

Santa Scramble 5K Presented by Leigh Brown & Associates, One Community Real Estate

 

Rain or Shine we have a new course route for 2022.  Due to construction, part of Union Street will be closed so the 5K route has been altered.  Start line and finish line are in the same general locations as last year.

 

Very Fast Race. Set to run before the Christmas Parade thru Concord.

The Santa Scramble 5K is set for Saturday, November 19, 2022 in downtown Concord.  The race will again be part of the Concord Christmas parade with an approximate start between 2:00 and 2:15 pm start (subject to change).
This is a destination race meaning you will start at one location and finish at another.
Age Based Pricing!!!  17 and under and 65 and older will receive a discount at checkout.

Start Line

The start line is between 5/3 Bank and Wells Fargo Bank on Church street near the intersection at Lake Concord Rd.   885 Church St. N.  Very close to the hospital.  

There is no room to park at the start line.  It is highly recommended to take the shuttle from the Concord High School to the Start line.  Get there early!!!

Buses and Transportation

The LAST bus leaves from the Concord High School Parking lot by Main Office at 1:00 pm.  If you miss the bus you will have to find your own way to the start line.

Please arrive early as everyone cannot fit in the last bus.

Parking

Logistics for this race is complicated as the streets are blocked for parade traffic and Parade Floats. You are encouraged to find your own way to the start line if possible. The last shuttle leaves the Concord High School Parking Lot by Main Office at 1:00.

Buses will transport from Concord High School Parking lot beginning at 11 am to the start line and will also take runners back to the school from the finish line after the awards ceremony. The school has more parking area. Remember to get there early. The school location is here.
