Run Run Rudolph - Peoria, IL
Run Run Rudolph is a holiday-themed running event held on December 12, 2026 at RC Outfitters on Southwest Water Street in Peoria, Illinois. The event is organized by ShaZam Racing and is part of the Peoria Holiday Race Series. It benefits Toys for Tots and includes dress-up contests and holiday-themed participant items.
Two course options are provided:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 Mile Run/Walk
Packet pickup is available the day before the event at RC Outfitters and there is very limited pickup on race day inside RC Outfitters. Participants receive a Run Run Rudolph hoodie, reindeer antlers, a candy cane, and post-race goodies and hot cocoa. Hoodies and antlers are limited to the first 600 registered.
Courses start and finish on the Riverfront Trail at the former Hooters restaurant. Results are posted after the event and awards are distributed at a results table rather than through a podium ceremony.
Awards include overall top male and female by gun time and age-group awards for top three males and females in standard age divisions. There are also best-dressed awards for Best Solo Outfit, Best Group Ensemble Outfit, and Best ShaZam Holiday Inspired Outfit. Organizers will draw raffle winners for additional gift card prizes; raffle entries are issued for donated toys.
Sponsors listed include RC Outfitters and Sunbelt Rentals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
