Race Description
The Winterhaven Run Through The Lights is a non-competitive, 5K fun run through the lights of Winterhaven. This fun run is a casual-paced run with a few stops (to re-group) and filled with
singing and lots of holiday cheer. Festive, holiday attire is encouraged (antlers, lights, striped socks...).
Immediately following the run, SAR will host its annual Desert Grand Prix Awards Ceremony, with free food and soft drinks, compliments of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners. It's a great way to wrap up the evening!
