There will also be special contests with fabulous prizes to be won!

  • Best Holiday Costume

  • Most Family Members at the Event

  • Participant who Traveled the Farthest

  • And interactive contests to participate in before the run!

And don’t miss the post-run events! Refreshments, snacks, and awesome door prizes!



Registration

The registration fee is a non-perishable or canned food item(s) which will be donated to the Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes. Please bring food and/or monetary donations with you to the event. Representatives from Loaves & Fishes will be there to collect donations.

Online and paper registration will be available fall of 2012.

You may also register at the event, but with the increased attendance for this event, we strongly recommend pre-registration.

Volunteer
