Benefiting the Charities of the
Flower Mound Rotary Club
WHAT IS THE REINDEER RUN?
This event is a part of the Town Christmas program and 100% of the income from this run supports our local and international charity work.
The Reindeer Run is a gently sloping, stroller capable, chip timed run through the trails of Heritage and Bakersfield parks in south Flower Mound.
The kid-friendly Grinch Sprint offers a 1 mile run for kids. We’ll have Santa Claus and the Grinch on hand for photos with the kids, families and the young at heart once both runs conclude.
Come in holiday attire, if you like, to kick start the Christmas spirit with your friends, family and other participants.
