A run/walk event begins at Spiegel Grove, with registration options available by mail, online, or on race day. Pre-registered participants are guaranteed race shirts, while race day registrants are not. An extra fee applies for larger shirt sizes. Awards are given to the overall male and female finishers, as well as for best costume. The first 100 registered participants receive a special gift. The event uses an out-and-back course previously used for the Jingle Bell Run. Discounted museum and house tour tickets are available online or on race day with a special code.
