Ocala Reindeer Run Presented by the Gaekwad Family
The Ocala Reindeer Run is presented as the 49th annual edition on 12/12/2026 in Ocala, Florida. The event takes place at NDS Global, 512 E Silver Springs Blvd, with pre-race packet pick up at the Hilton Garden Inn, 120 E Silver Springs Blvd.
The event includes the following distances:
- 5K in person
- 400 yards kids fun run
- 5K virtual option
Registration fees listed for the event are $25.00 for the in-person 5K, $0.00 for the Rudolph Dash kids fun run, and $35.00 for the virtual 5K. Registrants who register by December 1 are guaranteed a t-shirt. The organizer provides finisher medals for early registrants and finishers; different medals are issued after that initial group.
The virtual 5K allows participants to complete a 5K and submit a time within a 12 day window. Virtual participants receive a t-shirt and a medal but are not eligible for age group or overall awards.
Additional notes from the organizer state that the crewneck design is still being finalized and that, due to insurance, only licensed and registered service dogs are permitted at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
