The annual Candy Cane Course is set to take place on December 9, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas. This family-friendly event features both 5K and 12K races, creating a festive atmosphere for participants of all ages. With a Christmas theme, the race promises to be a delightful experience filled with holiday cheer.

Participants can look forward to a variety of engaging features. Each registrant will receive a designer shirt and a custom finisher medal, marking their accomplishment. The event will utilize chip-timing, enabling live results and awards for top finishers. Free photos will also be available, capturing the spirit of the event. At the finish line, runners can enjoy delicious treats, completing a memorable race day.

For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option is available. Participants can run at their convenience, anywhere and anytime, while still receiving race swag. This flexibility caters to a wide range of participants, ensuring that everyone can join in the festivities.

Youth pricing is particularly accessible, with registration for those aged 12 and under set at just $22 for both the 5K and 12K events. Each young runner will receive a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal, making it an attractive option for families.

Additional Events and Registration Details

The event also includes a one-mile untimed registration option, which provides participants with a custom bib, designer shirt, and medal upon completion. Furthermore, there is a special kids’ dash designed for children aged 10 and under. This untimed dash allows kids to participate in a fun atmosphere, with each child receiving a mini bib, youth-sized shirt, and a specially crafted medal.

Parents who wish to allow their child to run the kids’ dash without receiving the swag can do so for free on race day. This inclusive approach encourages young runners to engage in physical activity without the pressure of competition.

To guarantee a shirt, participants must register by midnight on the Thursday two weeks prior to race day. Early registration helps organizers ensure that all attendees receive their desired gear in time for the event.

The Candy Cane Course not only promotes fitness but also fosters community spirit during the holiday season. Grab your family and friends for a day filled with exercise, celebration, and festive fun. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this exciting event, whether you’re racing in person or virtually.
