Half Marathon?
We want to grow the Reindeer Fun Run each and every year. In 2010 we added a 10k, the Chick-fil-A Kids Zone and the Blitzen Bash. In 2011, along with a new location, we are adding on the the after party, tailgating, and more charity fundraising opportunities. But, we aren't yet satisfied. So, we're thinking... what about a half-marathon? We'd love to hear what you think!
