The 2024 Reindeer Dash 5K and 1-mile fun run in Vestavia Hills is set for Saturday, Dec. 21.
Both runs start and end at Pure Fitness at 100 Old Town Road, Suite 100, and meander through the adjacent neighborhood. The start time for both runs is 7:30 a.m. Runners and walkers are encouraged to dress in holiday character costumes and attire. Medals that can double as holiday ornaments will be presented to all 5K and 1-mile runners and walkers.
The race is a benefit for the Grace Klein Community, a nonprofit whose aim is to provide relief to the poor, the distressed and the underprivileged, lessen community tensions, eliminate prejudice and discrimination and combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.
There will be coffee and snacks for race participants after the runs.
