GET INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT AND BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THE LIGHTS!
Join us for the annual Holiday Luminary 5K at the Overland Park Arboretum. Be one of the first to preview the holiday light display before it opens to the public. The race will start and finish near the LongHouse Visitors Center and feature carolers, music and cookies along the course, and more holiday festivities at the finish line than you can shake a candy cane at!
ENTRY FEE: You're going to love this swag you can wear all season. Long-sleeve event shirts. Awesome light-up finisher medals. Fun light-up add-ons to make yourself extra festive and glowy! Holiday treats. Photo ops. And don't forget all of the holiday lights!!!
ADMISSION TICKETS: The Overland Park Arboretum has a mandatory admissions ticket fee: $7 for adults, $3 for 6-17 years old, and $0 for children 5 and under. This cost is on top of the race entry fee and is required for anyone attending the event (participants and bystanders). You will need to make sure you choose an admission ticket option when you check out. If you would like to purchase additional tickets for people joining you that aren't running, you can pre-purchase them during registration or at the gate. Save time by pre-purchasing admission tickets in advance so you don't have to wait in line. Admission tickets will be distributed at packet pickup.
MEDALS: All finishers will receive a fun lighted medal (pro tip: use them as tree decorations each year!). Our medals are guaranteed to make you smile!
LONG SLEEVE EVENT SHIRTS: All registrants that sign up before the shirt deadline will get one of our long-sleeve event shirts! These shirts are available to those that register before the shirt deadline (November 17) and are unisex sizing. Did we mention they are super soft and perfect for the holidays?
HOLIDAY COOKIE AID STATIONS: All racecourse aid stations will feature a special treat to get you through the course! You will be greeted with a platter full of cookies and a whole lotta cheer.
POST RACE ENTERTAINMENT: The finish venue is a holiday party! The finish venue creates a wonderful and safe meeting place for post-race photo ops with all your friends and fellow runners! Enjoy holiday festivities, delicious treats, and more.
POST RACE MUSIC & DANCING: Our DJ will be spinning holiday beats all evening long, from classic holiday songs to more upbeat favorites.
AWARDS CEREMONY and RANDOM DOOR PRIZES: There are no official awards ceremonies, but we will have results available and age group winner awards as well. NOTE: We provide prizes for first place in each age group, not top three. Plus, raffle prizes!
