White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Canton
The White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon takes place on December 24 at Etowah River Park and includes in-person and virtual participation options. The event follows a holiday gift exchange theme: runners select a preferred shirt size at registration but receive a mystery race shirt and a finisher medal from a previous event packaged together in a surprise post-race bundle.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Virtual race option
Awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers in five-year age groups, beginning with 10 and under and continuing through older age groups. Self-serve water stations are located at approximately every 1.5 miles along the courses; personal hydration is an option for participants who prefer not to stop at aid stations.
The event lists several registration price tiers: Early Bird, Regular, Late, and Race Day, with separate fees for the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and virtual races. Virtual participants submit results online and results are posted after the event date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
