14 Annual Reindeer Fun Runs

2021 UPDATE: Learn about "Gifting Great Futures Day" Hanging up our antlers... Fifteen years ago, we were a young couple with a starter home in Southern Pines, a toddler taking her first steps, and an idea. We’d seen the fun and festivity of the Charleston Reindeer Run, and we wanted to bring it home to our town. The generous folks at Trident Marketing agreed to help us turn our vision into...

Missy Pearl’s Reindeer Fun Run Story

Missy Pearl runs her last Reindeer Fun Run

"MISSY PEARL LOVED THE REINDEER RUN" Nothing makes our day more than hearing from Reindeer Fun Runners about the ways that the race has impacted them. We also get really happy when we see all the dogs who participate in our race year after year. So when the two combine, we've just got to share. Yesterday, we got a letter from Kate Hendricks that really moved us. Kate's dog Missy Pearl wa...

A Critical Resource

THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IS A CRITICAL RESOURCE FOR OUR COMMUNITY DURING THESE CHALLENGING TIMES, AND THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT MORE THAN EVER.

Super Reindeer

What's that up in the sky? A bird? A plane? A reindeer? Well, that makes sense actually, we all know reindeer fly on Christmas. But it isn't Christmas yet, and this guy seems to be pretty flashy! Plus, he's spending a lot of time circling Moore County. It must be the 2015 Reindeer Fun Run mascot--now his alter-ego. Finally, the photo of the deer going into a phone booth makes sense. Announc...

This is just a "SHOUT OUT" to all of those who help to make the SRS so much fun to be a part of! Without their hard work, dedicatio...

This year’s logo?

We know it is early, but believe it or not May is when we usually start sharing the Reindeer Fun Run on event calendars, creating forms, and getting the website updated. And May is just around the corner. But in order to do that, we have to have our logo figured out. We have changed the logo each year, and we want to continue that tradition. We'd love to know what you think we should do to this...
