Information

Get ready to lace up your running shoes and embrace the holiday spirit at the Naughty or Nice List Run in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, on Saturday, December 5, 2026!

This festive event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels to choose their side—Naughty or Nice—and enjoy a fun morning of running, walking, rucking, and holiday cheer.

When registering, decide whether you're feeling Naughty or Nice by selecting the corresponding event. Don’t worry—it’s the same race, at the same time, on the same planet. The two options simply divide everyone into teams and add a little friendly competition to race day.

Team Naughty and Team Nice will each have their own distinct shirt color, so you can proudly show off your holiday spirit and team allegiance.

Want to run with friends? Create a sub-team and bring your whole Naughty or Nice crew along. Whether you're racing for bragging rights, holiday fun, or just trying to convince Santa you've turned things around, this is a great way to celebrate the season together.

Naughty or Nice? Pick Your Side.

Saturday, December 5, 2026 • Oconomowoc, WI

5K Run & Walk • 2-Mile Walk • Kids 1K

Before you hit the starting line, you've got an important decision to make: Are you on the Naughty List or the Nice List?

Pick your side when you register. Your choice determines your race shirt—and possibly how Santa judges you for the rest of the year.


What's Included with Your Registration?

We're packing plenty of Christmas cheer into this one. Your registration includes:

  • A professionally managed and chip-timed event
  • Your choice of a Naughty List or Nice List race shirt
  • A fast and fun course through Oconomowoc
  • A FREE ticket to a 2026 Lake Country DockHounds game

It's a holiday race experience packed with running, Christmas cheer, and a few unexpected treats along the way.


Naughty List or Nice List T-Shirts

Race shirts are unisex cotton and guaranteed for participants registered by noon on November 20.

After the deadline, shirts will be available only while online inventory lasts. If you want a particular shirt and size, registering early is the smart move.

Which shirt do you get? You'll receive a Naughty List or Nice List shirt based on the team you select when you register.

Choose wisely. Santa is watching.

Everything you ever wanted to know (and probably a little more) about race shirts.


Course Overview

Start and finish at DockHounds Ballpark for one of the flattest and fastest courses around.

  • The route has only about a 3-foot elevation change, making it perfect for chasing a PR or simply enjoying a December run.
  • Participants will complete two laps around Pabst Farms Business Park and through Wisconsin Harley-Davidson before heading back to DockHounds Ballpark for the finish.

Course Instructions: Detailed course instructions and maps will be included in the race-day email sent during the week of the event.

And yes, the course may be a little short. We know y'all are going to cut the corners anyway. We asked the city to build us another road, but apparently that's "unreasonable." Since we're trying to stay on the Nice List, we're letting it go.


Costumes Encouraged

Get into the holiday spirit and make the Naughty or Nice List Run even more festive by showing up in your best Christmas-themed costume.

Santa suit? Absolutely. Elf ears? Yep. Reindeer? Go for it. Ugly Christmas sweater covered in enough lights to be visible from space? Now we're talking.

Costumes aren't required, but they definitely make the race more fun, more photogenic, and a whole lot more memorable.

Grab the ugly sweater, break out the tinsel, and let's turn DockHounds Ballpark into a holly-jolly running party.


So... Naughty or Nice?

There's only one way to find out.

Pick your list. Pick your distance. We'll see you at the starting line on December 5.
