Our elves are hard at work, getting ready for the holiday season. Come out and join us for a merry and bright Holiday Light experience this December, and also check out some of our new and exciting pop up events throughout the month.

Elves have hidden ornaments around the St. Joseph County Parks, and they want YOU to embark on a quest to find them! Every Tuesday in December, the elves will unveil clues on the Parks’ Facebook page (facebook.com/sjcparks) to help lead you to the secret ornament hideaways. Join the game, locate the ornaments, snap a photo, and submit them to mgohn@sjcparks.org for a chance to win park prizes!

New this year, an exciting single loop 1.5 mile course made just for the kids! This race transforms a typical run into a dazzling holiday experience!

This race will take off before the Dash Away 5K to allow kids to run with some daylight and very clear signage to direct them through the course.

This race is designed for kids ages 5 - 12, and we highly encourage festive attire. (This will not be a timed race.)
