Chigger Chase

Come chill with the Chigger at the 29th Annual Chigger Chase run at Ardmore Regional Park! Run through the Festival of Lights to kick off the Christmas season with your family and friends.

The Children's Run - Kids up to age 12 will run on the main race course! All children registered to run will start with the Chigger at the inflated start line, run out 1/4 mile, and run back a 1/4 mile through the finish line. Dress for the occasion in your festive attire or fun costume!

Runners of all ages are encouraged to register for the 5K run through the Christmas lights. Will you be one of the fast runners who catches the Speedy Chigger? You also have the option of a 1-mile fun run or walk. Get in the spirit by wearing your festive attire!

If you want one of our great souvenir t-shirts, be sure to register no later than October 31st! We cannot guarantee a t-shirt after 5 pm October 31st. Race-day registration will be available until 4:15 p.m. on November 15th.
