Way back in August, we posted the news that the 2020 Reindeer Fun Run was going virtual on our social media accounts. Almost immediately, some of our terrific supporters commented on one of the biggest silver linings of a virtual event: you can participate from ANYWHERE! Folks who were once part of the Sandhills community and have now moved on can run down memory lane by joining the reindeer herd from afar. Longtime Reindeer Fun Runners can recruit friends and family from across the country to join them in supporting the Boys and Girls Club of the Sandhills. And the Petsolt family—who founded this race 14 years ago and wouldn’t dream of missing a race—can run their own course from their current digs in Spain. 

With all this emphasis on geographic diversity, a global theme seemed right. So we worked with designer Mike Sofka to create a one-of-a-kind 2020 Reindeer Virtual Fun Run shirt. Reindeer Fun Runners will get a gray technical t-shirt while Egg Nog Joggers will get a classic white cotton t-shirt with their own 2020 logo.

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.
