About the race
Run Run Rudolph is a holiday running event organized by ShaZam Racing in Peoria, Illinois on December 12, 2026. The event offers two distance options and includes themed dress up contests with outfit prizes and a raffle that benefits Toys for Tots.
Participants receive race swag including a hoodie, reindeer antlers, a candy cane, and post-race goodies and hot cocoa. Hoodies and antlers are limited to the first 600 registered. Packet pickup is available at RC Outfitters the day before the event, with very limited pickup on race day; packets may be collected for friends and family.
Race distances:
- 5K run and walk
- 1 Mile run and walk
Course details note that the start and finish are on the Riverfront Trail at the former Hooters Restaurant. Awards for the 5K include overall top male and female by gun time and age group awards for top three males and females in standard age brackets. There will not be a formal awards ceremony; age group finishers should check results and claim awards at the results table on site. Best dressed awards include Best Solo Outfit, Best Group Ensemble Outfit, and Best ShaZam Holiday Inspired Outfit. Two raffle winners will receive a $50 RC Outfitters gift card, and raffle tickets are issued for each toy donated. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
