The 10th Annual Care Net 5K Reindeer Run/Walk is a family-fun event open to runners and walkers of all types so grab your family members, friends, or co-workers and join the fun!

This year we are adding a fundraising option to our race so that your friends and families can get involved and help support the work of Care Net Owensboro!  Race participants and non-participants who choose to raise funds for CNO will have the opportunity to earn a CNO beanie, a $30 registration refund, a hoodie, and a chance at other exclusive prizes including a six-month family membership to the YMCA for the top individual fundraiser!  For more fundraising fun, create a team and set the goal to be the team that raises the most for recognition in our January Newsletter! 

 This race will be a timed event for the purpose of awarding winner divisions. Participants are encouraged to come dressed in Holiday attire (ugly sweaters, Santa hats, bells, fun socks, etc.) Visit with Santa, sip hot chocolate or coffee from Overflow Cafe, enjoy a nibble from Great Harvest Bread Company, and be entered into our door prize drawings!

The early-bird registration fee is $30 through 9/30/24.  Standard registration fee is $35 until 11/30/24, and then the price increases to $40. 

Race entry fee includes a long-sleeved race shirt if registered by 11-8-24 and entry for door prize drawings*. Due to our t-shirt vendor deadline, participants registering after 11-8-24 will not receive a race shirt. *Does not include Reindeer Dash registrants. 

 Don’t forget about the Reindeer Dash…for children 7 and under. This short dash down Veterans Blvd. from Frederica St. to Saint Ann St. is a chance for young ones to run with Santa and his reindeer to the finish line!  Dress your little one up in Christmas attire and enjoy the fun.  All little runners will receive a winner’s medal at the finish line. The Reindeer Dash has a separate entry fee and the start time is 8:00 a.m.  (Race t-shirts not included with Reindeer Dash registration but may be purchased through the Merch store!)
