Winter Lightfest Santa Fun Run - Abilene

The Santa Fun Run is a charity event held during the United Way Winter Lightfest in Abilene, featuring more than 3,000,000 lights. The event raises funds for the Wylie Bulldogs Education Foundation and the United Way, and it is organized in partnership with Abilene Running Company.

The advertised course is just under 3 miles and passes through the light display four times. Participants may run or walk the route. Strollers are permitted and children under 5 walk free. Dogs are not allowed.

T-shirt availability is guaranteed for those who register by Nov. 13; additional shirts will be ordered for later registrants, with earlier orders increasing the chance of receiving one. Bibs and T-shirts can be picked up at Abilene Running Company during designated pickup windows on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2, or at the registration table shortly before the Lightfest begins.

The Wylie Bulldogs Education Foundation was established to support excellence in Wylie ISD through donations and grants. The foundation has contributed significant funding to students and teachers since its inception. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
