Lions Charities Reindeer Run
The Lions Charities Reindeer Run is an annual 5K event held in Downtown Wheaton on December 5, 2026. Presented in partnership by Wheaton Park District and Lions Club Charities, the event has a seasonal theme and encourages participants to wear festive accessories such as Santa hats, reindeer antlers, or jingle bells. Participants may walk, jog, or run.
The race is chip timed; overall winners and individual age category winners are determined by chip time. All participants receive a long-sleeve shirt, reindeer antlers, and a finisher medal. Shirt sizes are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The event lists First Trust as a community event partner.
The event page notes a photo release: the Wheaton Park District, its partners, approved volunteers and vendors may take photographs or video of participants for promotional use, and participation implies agreement to the use and distribution of those images without compensation.
Location is Downtown Wheaton. Event organization and administration are handled by the Wheaton Park District. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
