Come join us for our 21st Annual Reindeer Run for the Children! This is a family friendly, 5k and 10k event! To pair with our flat course at the beautiful Etowah River Park, we will also have post race refreshments, caroling from our local schools, awards, and maybe even a little visit from the one and only Mr. Clause! We would love to see you come out and help us as we raise funds for the Children of Cherokee County! This is also a Peachtree Road Race Qualifying event, so don’t miss the opportunity to get a great time for that! Reach out to runforthechildren@serviceleague.net if you have any questions!
