I moved away from my hometown 9 years ago. When visiting my parents for Christmas I saw this race and decided to sign up. I didn’t realize we were literally chasing Santa, which was a cool concept. Several runners were “Santa” on course and if you caught up to him and pulled a flag (think flag football) you got a prize at the end of the race. I was more focused on a flat course PR! However, the race was measured incorrectly so I feel like my result shouldn’t “stand”. It was .1 miles short which still would have earned me a PR but now I don’t know what my actual time should be. It’s fine, it’s all for fun, and still one of my fondest memories, as my dad was there to cheer me to the finish line!
