Jingle all the way through our Dashing Through Defiance Run in conjunction with the 15th annual Defiance Christmas Festival!

Lace up your sneakers, bundle up, and get ready to dash through the charming little town of Defiance, twinkling with holiday lights and lined with cheering neighbors. The first 200 participants get a jolly red Santa suit to wear as they run (or walk) through the frosty streets—creating a sea of Santas spreading cheer with every step.

Whether you’re chasing a new PR or just jingling for the fun of it, this cozy, small-town race is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. This fun run takes place right before the Defiance Christmas festival and parade so plan to stick around and make a fun day of it. Ho-ho-hope to see you at the starting line!​

Parking is limited at Good News Brewing so arrive early or park at the public parking at the S-curve and walk to the brewery.
