RACE ROUTE: Race starts right in front of the former New Florence ambulance garage which is right beside the fire hall. We will run up a block make a left head towards the New Florence Manor. Then quickly jumping on route 711 for about a tenth of a mile before hitting Boswell road. From there you run out towards the state gamelands running by the Laurel Hill Iron Furnace before turning around. From there you run back a couple tenths the same way you just came until you Pick up Furnace lane and head back towards town. Then you don’t have to make any turns for almost a mile when you make a turn on Mulberry Street run a couple blocks down to 15th street where you turn left and finish out the last tenthish mile the same tenthish mile how you started, finishing back in front of the old ambulance garage. We will have someone stopping traffic as you cross 711. Also to slow traffic down the tenth of a mile you are on 711 before hitting Boswell road. It’s not a closed course but traffic is very minimal. We do ask you to be cautious and be aware of your surroundings. The course is exactly 3.10 miles. I measured it numerous times. While measuring I made sure to run the most efficient route so that means running the tangents to you take the most direct line as a professional would. The course has a net gain in the first half of the race and net decline the second half. There is one water stop on the course we will have water there, its located right past the furnace right before the turn around there. Right at the 1.45 mile mark. Please keep all cups/trash located to that area. There will be a trash can there to throw cups in. Do not throw trash down the road. Where its located you will pass it go about 30 yards and turn around so you pass it twice quickly if you would need another drink. Make sure you go around where the sign that says Turn Around Here and the marking on the ground. Ive added Map My Run to the bottom of this registration page so you can use it to see the course outline, elevation profile and if you want to upload the map to your watch to use you are now able to. RULES: For the free child registrants we require at least one adult to be present at the event to watch the child. The adult does not have to run beside the child during the event, but we ask that you use your best judgement in letting the child run alone if you choose to let them. There is to be no unsupervised children to be dropped off at the event. We Are not responsible for watching or taking care of a child, if a child is dropped off unsupervised by anyone we will contact the authorities, this is for safety purposes and liability purposes on our end and your along with everybody in attendance.

We understand you may have to leave early for work or family obligations so be a adult and get with us beforehand if you absolutely must leave early. We highly discourage having someone pick yours up during the awards because again you should have seen us before leaving and not everyone has that luxury to have someone there. We believe as a running community we all need to support one another in this community as it grows with each race. That support includes all the way through the award ceremony. We all need to celebrate the accomplishments of every participant at all events we attend and the hard work that goes into each persons training to get them from start to finish. That's why we want you to stick around. Also its nice to have people cheer others on as they finish. Also no smoking, alcohol or drug use is permitted in any area the race will be using this includes parking lots, staging area, race course or restrooms. These are our rules along with rules of the trail. Remember this is a kid friendly event where young lungs are at play along with the possibility of adults with health issues. we are trying to make this event safe and comfortable for everyone. No throwing any trash/garbage along the course. Whatever you start with you have to end with. The only exception is the ability to throw trash away is at the water stop at that garbage can there. To be considered for awards you must finish under you own power, whether walking or running, as stated above children must participate under their own power as well to be considered for awards, being pushed inside a stroller will not count for children they must use their own two feet the entire time. Headphones are allowed, we ask you to please be courteous to fellow runners and that you listen to your audio at a reasonable volume so you can hear other runners coming or calling out if they are passing you. Also so you can hear those directing traffic or traffic coming, again it is not a closed course. If you are pushing a stroller please be aware of other runners and vehicles give them the right away.

Join us for The Krew Runners 3rd Annual Santa Con Run Saturday, December 13, 2026 7:00 am at Mershops Northridge Mall (Hobby Lobby area) Santa Con is back for YEAR THREE! 🎅🏃‍♂️✨ Join The Krew Runners at Northridge Mall for our 3rd Annual Santa Con, a festive community run bringing runners, walkers, families, and our Salinas community together to kick off the holiday season with movement, giving, and plenty of holiday cheer. Santa Con has become one of our favorite Krew traditions, and this year we're ready to make it even bigger. Whether you're chasing a PR, walking with your family, bringing the kids out for some fun, or simply looking for a way to celebrate the season with your community, everyone is welcome. 👟 THIS YEAR, WE’RE RUNNING FOR SHOES. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to provide running shoes to local students who may not own a proper pair or have access to one. As runners, we know how important the right pair of shoes can be. But for a young person, a pair of running shoes can represent so much more than footwear. They can be an invitation to move. An opportunity to participate. A chance to join a team. A reason to try something new. And sometimes, the confidence to take that very first step. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience movement without their circumstances being the reason they have to sit on the sidelines. Through Santa Con, we're asking our community to help us put shoes on feet and opportunities in front of kids. 🎯 OUR GOAL: $10,000 Race registrations, donations, sponsorships, and community support will help us work toward our $10,000 fundraising goal to purchase running shoes for students in need. Every registration matters. Every donation matters. Every step matters. Date: Sunday, December 13, 2026 Start Time: 7:00 am Start/Finish Line: Hobby Lobby Parking Area Course Map: Coming soon! *Registration: We encourage you to PRE-REGISTER. In person registration will be from 6:00am - 6:30am ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS.* The Krew's Santa Con Run is open to all members of the community. All ages are welcome to participate (under 18 with a guardian). There is no age limit for participating.

The Snowy Owl Trail Race is a 5 mile trail race through the sweeping trails, overlook, mountaintops, and waterfronts of the Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem NY on Sunday, December 13, 2026. The course starts and ends in the Yurt Village at Camp Morty inside the park. The village features a large firepit with an amphitheater that will serve as the gathering spot for runners before and after the race. The fire pit will have a roaring fire going to warm people up. The race will support trail projects at Mountain Lakes Park. The park has over 10 miles of trails on its 1000+ acres. It also abuts and joins with trail systems from four other parks - two in North Salem NY and two in Ridgefield CT. This extends the trail system to nearly 14 miles. Given that this race is in the winter season there is always the potential for a snowstorm which may throw a wrench into the race plan. In the event of a winter storm on race day the park and organizers may determine the race must be postponed or cancelled. Runners will have a choice of a race transfer or refund. A bit of snow on the ground will not cause the race to be cancelled or postponed.

The talented barbers from Proper Barber will be there to shave it all off—all while helping Live Like Cameron make Christmas a little brighter for local children battling cancer and their families. For children going through cancer treatment, losing their hair is often something they don't get to choose. Shave for the Brave gives our community an opportunity to stand beside them in a fun and meaningful way while raising funds to support local childhood cancer families. Don't have a beard? You can still be part of Shave for the Brave! Sponsor someone else's shave, become an individual or business sponsor, or make a general donation. Every shave and every donation helps us bring joy, comfort and hope to local childhood cancer families this Christmas. Since our first Shave for the Brave in 2020, our incredible community has helped us raise nearly $270,000. Each Christmas, we provide approximately 42 Christmas Bags of Hope to pediatric oncology patients and their siblings. These special bags include Christmas decorations to brighten their hospital rooms, comfort items for long hospital stays, and lots of fun presents to make Christmas morning special. Over the first six years of Shave for the Brave, we have delivered approximately 252 Christmas Bags of Hope. We also grant Christmas gift wishes for more than 40 local childhood cancer families every year in Flagler and Volusia Counties. When we support a family, we don't just provide gifts for the child battling cancer—we include all of their siblings as well. Cancer affects the entire family. Our goal is to give parents one less thing to worry about and make sure every child in the family feels remembered and special at Christmas.
