Please join the Lynchburg Road Runners Club (LRRC) and all your cool running friends for this annual Fun Run on the iconic Virginia Ten Miler course! Since Christmas Eve morning falls on a Sunday this year, in order to not conflict with church services that day, the Fun Run has been moved to Saturday, December 23 @ 8am, which keeps it in line with a normal running day for most of Santa’s elves who are trying to stay in shape during the Christmas season. Besides, Santa’s elves will be plenty busy enough already on Christmas Eve day while his reindeer are resting for their big night! Santa and Rudolph would appreciate it if any elves would volunteer to bring some tasty treats to share with the other elves and reindeer! Hot drinks too! Elves and reindeer get hungry and thirsty from running! Festive holiday attire is encouraged! There might even be a special gift from Santa for the best costume! While some elves and reindeer will run the entire 10 mile course, feel free to come out and run as much or as little of it as you like that day! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE LRRC TO PARTICIPATE! Also, in the past, it has been our habit of doing a shirt swap as part of this activity, so if you have an over-abundance of running shirts in good condition taking up room in your drawers and closet and you wouldn’t mind parting with some, please bring them along in case someone else would enjoy getting a new-to-them running shirt. All unclaimed shirts will be donated to charity. Since the roads are not closed for this event, we will run on the sidewalks along Langhorne Road, Rivermont Terrace, and Rivermont Avenue. PLEASE DO NOT RUN IN THE STREETS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY! This is a run-at-your-own-risk event so please adhere to traffic signals when crossing streets and watch out for yourself and your fellow runners!
