The 2010 Reindeer Fun Run will be bigger and better than ever! Join the fun with either the 5k or 10k Reindeer Fun Run/Walk and the ½ Mile Kid's Egg Nog Jog.
The 5k curves through historic downtown and the Weymouth Woods neighborhoods of Southern Pines. The new 10k incorporates the 5k route along with a beautiful tour of Southern Pines Horse Country. Both courses are USATF certified and chip timed.
This FUN community event is for everyone from serious runners to recreational walkers, families, and pets. Join in the holiday cheer with a run or walk and the Reindeer Fun Run post-race party.
The past three Reindeer Fun Runs have been more sucessful than we could have hoped. But one request we keep getting is the addition of a 10k event. Well, we’re giving it a try! We will be coordinating with the town of Southern Pines, the USATF, the Southern Pines Police and Parks & Recreation to make it all happen. We will keep you posted!
Online registration will begin the first week of August, with the launch of an improved website. Keep checking back for more info, and make sure to become a fan of the Reindeer Fun Run on Facebook.

Our 2009 5k record setter Sean Dunlap has a compelling and wonderfully written blog post about the race – We encourage all runners to read it.

Melanie Weston is the winner of our facebook “Guess the Number of Runners” competition. Some were closer on the 5k, and others on the 1/2 mile jog, but Melanie was really close on both. Her total of 900 was just 37 off our final count of 863. Congrats! We hope you like your prize.

Twas the night before running and all through the city, we looked at the weather and saw it was rainy;
The antlers were tucked in the race bags with care, in hopes that the runners soon would be there;
The kids Egg Nog Jogging and all the 5k, with visions of awards and prizes that day;
We the runners, the walkers, and even the pets, can’t wait for tomorrow even if we get wet!
Help us out with Packet Pick-up
Everyone who can pick up their packet tonight will greatly help us keep things on-time tomorrow. It looks like rain, but spirits are sunny because we have had more registrations than we ever hoped for! At last count – that was over 750 pre-registrants, so helping us with early packet-pick up tonight or tomorrow morning is greatly appreciated!
Bring your reindeer gear and rain gear – we’ll see you there

The 2nd Annual Reindeer Fun Run saw nearly 600 participants run, walk, jog and strut their way around the 5k course in downtown Southern Pines (that’s 50% more than last year!). The Egg Nog Jog had 40+ kids prance their way through the ½ mile course and cheers from all sides. After the awards, both racers and fans stuck around to enjoy Southern Pines and watch the Annual Holiday Parade. What a great day! Together, we raised record money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Sandhills, and had a great time doing it!
