Christmas in July 5K - Gahanna, Ohio - Running

The Christmas in July 5K is a Running race in Gahanna, Ohio consisting of a Kids Run/Fun Run and 5K.

Wagons Ho Ho Ho is a 100% volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to provide wagons filled with a Christmas Dinner for children and families in dire need of assistance during the holidays. Each year on the first Saturday in December, more than 700 volunteers come together for one day to build 1,500 wagons and pack Christmas dinners for families throughout Ohio.

A bright shiny wagon under the tree. It's a simple pleasure that every child deserves ... Don't you agree? 100% of all donations go directly to helping families in need. We believe that these wagons deliver more than food and a toy. We believe that it represents HOPE. We truly believe ... every child deserves a Christmas.

This out-and-back 5k run at Academy Park, Gahanna, is considered one of the flattest race routes you'll run. Not in the mood to run? Then come on out for a 1-mile walk to support one of the best charities in Columbus. Word on the street is that Santa himself (and his many elves) will be cheering on all the participates! We'll have fun music and great post-race food to celebrate your feet. Come and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas ... in July!

Your 5K and 1-mile Fun Run entry fee includes:

T-shirt
Swag bag (way better than any stocking you'll get on Christmas morning)
Post-race food and goodies
Bib number with timing chip
