Foothills Trail in Orting


Get ready to spread some holiday cheer with the Reindeer Run 5k! Put on your ugliest holiday sweater, reindeer-themed gear, or anything festive, and join us for a fun run/walk on a 5K course that is USATF certified and chip-timed. The Foothills Trail in Orting is the perfect location for this event, with paved paths and easy slopes for a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Before the race starts, Zumba with Lea will be hosting a pre-race warm-up session at 8:45 a.m. Once you cross the finish line, you'll receive a keepsake medal and reindeer antlers to commemorate your participation. Results will be available immediately after crossing the finish line and posted on our website the following week.

Whether you pre-register online or register on the day of the event, we welcome everyone to participate. We encourage you to bring your family and friends to enjoy the festive atmosphere. Don't forget to grab some hot cocoa, or coffee, and snap a fun picture at our festive photo booth. Please note that t-shirts will not be available for this race. Join us for the final fun run of 2023 and let's celebrate the holiday season together!
