Greater Beverly YMCA Reindeer Run 5K Road Race

The Greater Beverly YMCA Reindeer Run 5K Road Race takes place in Beverly, Massachusetts. This festive road race follows a route through scenic coastal roads and the historic downtown area. The event begins and ends at the First Baptist Church on Cabot Street, specifically using the back parking lot located on Hale Street.

The course is open to runners and walkers, and it is also stroller and dog friendly, provided dogs are well-behaved. Participants are encouraged to wear holiday costumes, often appearing as Santa, elves, or other seasonal characters.
