Finally, a 5k in Central Gardens! Join us on Sunday, November 19, 2023, as we hit the streets of Central Gardens for our inaugural Wreath Run 5k, 1/4 mile dash youth fun run, and neighborhood after party.
For decades, we have been celebrating the holiday season by adorning wreaths on our historic light poles throughout the neighborhood (scroll down for route). Starting this November, we will also kick off the season with a run through our wreath-lined streets. We encourage everyone to get festive in their attire and come for fun. We will have a great crowd, with neighbors along the path to cheer you on, and a great after party!
Live wreaths will be awarded to the top finishers in each category. The first 100 finishers will be awarded a special medal as a token of their achievement. All runners over 21 will be given a beer at the finish line, special thanks to Crosstown Brewing Company. If you are over 21, make sure to bring your ID with you to the race.
The City Fathers will be playing the after-party from 4:30 until 6:00pm. Tipsy Tumbler, Top Dawgz, Good Grocer, and Feast and Graze will be there too.
We also need volunteers to make the race happen. If you would like to participate, click the button below to register as a volunteer. We would love to have you.
Festivities are open to everyone including non-runners, the fun starts at 3pm and ends at 6pm.
