Santa's Reindeer 5k and 10k Run

2nd Annual Santa's Reindeers Run
We're back! And we're making this event even better than last year's! This race will be certified and timed with timing chips (elements that were not part of the 2017 race). We're having more music along the course; hot refreshments for a chilly morning; newer updated medal!

The City of New Port Richey in Florida has a secret. 7.5 miles of paved trails, which is perfect for running a 5k and 10k.
What's a better way to celebrate the holiday spirit than by running a Christmas themed 5k and 10k at NPR's Starkey Park?

The entire family can enjoy this event that includes fun holiday music along the course and incredible scenery. Choose from either a 5k walk/run or a 10k run.

This course utilizes the Starkey Park Bike Trail, a 7.5-mile trail that winds through the park offering scenic views of Florida wildlife.

What do I get?
Every finisher will earn a medal, a holiday-themed performance shirt, and access to some festive chorus music provided by the local New Port Richey Steel Drum Band. Hungry after the race? Choose from several local food trucks!
