This fun and low key race is part of the weekend long Christmas at the End of the Road celebration in which the town turns on the christmas lights for the first time of the year and includes the very popular fireworks, holiday shopping, food, music, santa, wagon rides, caroling, and much more! Come prepared for any weather and road conditions including snow and ice.

1k Fun Run: Free and is intended for kids(and kids at heart) of all ages (no timing and no need to register)

Shirt: For an additional $10 you can get a commemorative short sleeve t-shirt. gender specific or kids sizes available.

Online registration ends November 25th at 3pm. Race day registration starts at noon.  

Course: The entire course is within town limits running almost entirely on residential streets with very little vehicle traffic. The course will have lots of turns and a couple short but steep hills and will not be USATF certified. The course may (but hopefully not) have snow or ice on it and runners should be prepared for any weather conditions. This is not a fast course. 


The 5k Course will start and finish by going across the brand new Spring Creek Pedestrian Bridge by the Winthrop Ice Rink. After crossing the bridge the runners will turn right onto Riverside Ave., go under the Hwy 20/Methow River Bridge on the short(~50yards) pedestrian trail to connect to Main St, turn left onto Washington St., which becomes Filer Ave., right onto Castle Ave, right onto Bridge St., right onto Englar St, right onto Corral St., Left back onto Castle Ave and from here the runners will return to the Winthrop Ice Rink the same way the came(via Filer Ave, Washington St., Main St. and Riverside Ave.).
