Candy Cane 5K Run

About This Event:

Kick off the holiday season by joining us for our sixth year and helping with a great cause. Gather your family, friends, neighbors, classmates and co-workers; don your ugliest sweaters or dress up as elves and reindeer; deck yourselves in blinking holiday lights and come run/walk the Candy Cane 5K! This is a rain, shine, or snow event. Catch the sounds, sights, and lights of the season as you travel this relatively flat road race through Stevensville's subdivisions and downtown area. Fun for all ages and abilities. Dogs on leashes and strollers welcome.

*Net proceeds to benefit St. Paul's Lutheran School's Scholarship Fund.
