Annual Chase the Grinch out of Snohomish Fun Run!

The infamous Grinch has threatened to spoil all of the holiday merriment in our little town of Sno-Who-Mish!

Runners & walkers can help restore holiday order by Chasing the Grinch out of town. The fun-run 5K and 10k routes start at our Cheermeister Village in Snohomish. The route takes you through part of town and then along the picturesque Centennial Trail. This fun & mostly flat 5K & 10K distance is a fully supported out-and-back course. Runners return to a festive & fun finish line with hot chocolate & post-run snacks, as well as entertainment & photo ops galore!

All registrants for the 5K and 10K will receive a swag bag including a gender-specific technical event tee along with an official medal showing that you helped Chase the Grinch out of Town. Register early to guarantee your tech tee sizing!

Don't worry, the kids will have a chance to help too! Elvin the Christmas Gnome will send kids 13 & under on their way for the ½ mile Kids Dash along the Riverfront Trail to Cady Park & back. Parents may accompany their kids on the dash. They'll return for hot cocoa, cider, cookies & their very own finisher medal for helping to get rid of the grumpy Grinch!

Wear your most fun & festive attire to help spread holiday joy as we start a yearly tradition in Historic Downtown Snohomish!

Please, no strollers and no pets this time around! Parts of the route are very narrow.
