Packet Pick-up
Packet pick-up starts Friday at noon.  Your best bet is to let the first rush get through and come between 1:00 and 8:00 (please don’t come early, we won’t be ready).  This year we have moved packet pick-up to Page Memorial Fellowship Hall which is right at the starting line on 104 South Poplar Street.  We will also be collecting Cans & Coats for K2 Solutions Annual Drive at packet-pickup.  Please bring what you can.

Parking
On race day, there is lots of parking in downtown Aberdeen, but please remember if you park inside of the race route, you will not be able to leave until the last runners are off the course.  There is plenty of parking outside the route and a parking map below.

On-Site Child Care
Rugg Rats will be on-site at Page Memorial Nursery for child care.  Now, both parents can run!  Space is limited, please contact Rugg Rats to make an appointment.

Pets & Strollers
We love runners with strollers and runners with pets, but we do ask that both start behind runners without.

The Reindeer Fun Run will be partnering with Rugg Rats to provide on-site child care.  Trying to help out those parents who want to both run while the kids play.  Do it!  And then let the kids run the Egg Nog Jog and play in the Chick-fil-A Kids Zone.  We’re still working out the details, but we will keep you posted…

    First, our thinking…  We figured that if we are going to redo something, that we should start from the simplest layout.  For that reason we eliminated the three areas that caused the most coordination and/or potential for confusion, and tried to add as few streets as possible.  Those three areas:
    1. The slightly different route the 5k & 10k took between Poplar and Sycamore
    2. The short out and back on Saunders
    3. The trip through the Bethesda cemetery -while beautiful, it cause difficulties
    The route: This start of this route follows the 5k exactly, as well as the jaunt from Poplar to Sycamore.  Rather than follow Midway at that point, it continues along the 5k course until it reaches Bethesda.  At that point, it veers left and follows Bethesda in the opposite way as last year (this will allow us to get traffic off Bethesda sooner as well).  It then continues the reversal to Saunders (with no out and back – hopefully, but the USATF may still need a little one) then downhill on Midway before re-engaging with the 5k

    • 12ks of Christmas:  Set your PR for a 12k on our expanded longer course (anyone want to write the song?).
    • Performance shirts: Long sleeve performance shirts are now available for the 5k & 12k.
    • Race start: Last year was BEAUTIFUL, but it is December after all so we’re starting just a bit later so it is more likely to be warmer.
    • Waves: Instead of starting in waves, we will ask pets and those with strollers to please start behind others to avoid congestion at the start.  On a side note, we would like spectators to do “the wave.”
    • Markings: Course marking will be improved with separate lanes when the 5k & 12k come back together so runners don’t have to dodge walkers.
    • Egg Nog Jog: Nothing really new here, but it’s adorable, right?!
    • Goal: Our goal is to provide enough funds for the Buys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills to keep their Aberdeen facility open year-round (just like the one in Southern Pines).
    • Fun: We’re going to
