2016-12-24 08:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | E.C. Glass High School, 2111 Memorial Ave., Lynchburg, VA, 24502, United States
Join the Lynchburg Road Runners for this fun annual holiday event! Start your Christmas Eve off on the right foot by joining your fellow elves for a morning jaunt along the iconic Virginia 10 Miler course! The more hearty elves may wish to run the entire course but feel free to come out and run as much or as little of it as you care to! No fair to eat all the goodies though before the hearty elves return!
Speaking of goodies, Santa’s elves will need to bring some goodies for all the elves to enjoy! Hot drinks are also appreciated! If planning on bringing a treat to share, please indicate in a post below so the other elves can see what is needed because everyone knows that Santa is not too fond of a dozen fruit cakes but no homemade chocolate chip cookies! Wear your best elf attire!
Speaking of attire, Santa knows there are many experienced elves who have more running shirts than they have drawer space for and there are some other elves that might enjoy a “new to them, gently worn used running shirt” so please bring a shirt or two to swap with your fellow elves. Any unclaimed shirts will be donated to the poorer elves in our community that have no running shirts at all.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE LYNCHBURG ROAD RUNNERS CLUB TO PARTICIPATE! YOU JUST NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF SANTA’S ELF CREW AND THAT INCLUDES US ALL! Invite a friend to join you! Remember, this is a “run at your own risk” activity as the roads will be open to traffic so we will be running on the sidewalks. Watch out for one another when crossing the streets and intersections. Santa would be very sad if one of his favorite elves got hurt on Christmas Eve! HO, HO, HO!!
