Festivus for the Rest of Us 5K - Albuquerque
The Festivus for the Rest of Us 5K Run/Walk and Kids Festivus Dash take place at Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque. This nighttime event is organized by Bosque Running Company and focuses on community fitness during the holiday season. The event features multiple distances to accommodate various age groups and activity levels:
- 5 km Run/Walk
- 1 mile Kids Festivus Dash
Participants in the 5 km event are encouraged to wear reflective clothing, headlamps, or light-up accessories for safety during the evening run. Strollers are permitted on the course, allowing families to participate together. The atmosphere includes holiday lights, music, and thematic elements such as a Festivus pole photo opportunity, an "Airing of the Grievances," and family-oriented "Feats of Strength."
The event supports a local cause, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Running 505. This organization operates as an after-school running and mentoring program that uses physical movement and community support to empower young people in the area. Post-race refreshments are provided for participants following their events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
