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…

• 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

We will have race-day storage at the Civic Club. There are lots of activities at the After Party and we don’t want you to be empty handed. We will hold your stuff during the race if you like.
