12K’s of Christmas

The 12k starts and ends at Gilbert’s Freestone District Park with an out and back route along Western Powerline Trail. It’s a flat, scenic trail – mainly running on packed gravel past farms and behind the Riparian area – with only 3 street crossings.

Run/Walk Information
The 12k will begin at 10 sharp, right after our National Anthem. Pets are welcome, but dog-owners will be asked to line up in the back of the pack.  Water Stations will be at 2/10k, 3/9k, and 4/8k with water for you and your dogs, energy drinks, and a porta-pottie.  First Aid is at the start / finish line in the park. After you finish, drop by Santa’s Food Court for beverages and snacks.

Awards
Medal presentations will begin at 11:30 am with medals for the 1st through 3rd place finishers in each age category, and a special gift for our fastest Male and fastest Female. There will also be “judges” awards for the Most Christmas Spirit (Male and Female), Best Christmas Themed Running Outfit and Best Dressed Pet. NEW in 2011 - award winners can pick up their gifts from under the Christmas tree any time after the race. A list of winners will be posted.
