Christmas Classic 5K and Fun Run

Join us on December 5th, 2026 at the Arab City Park Historical Village for the Christmas Classic 5K and Fun Run presented by Lifespring Baptist Church of Arab. The event will be timed but there will be no time limits, so join us whether you’re running for a personal best or if you’re just wanting to walk, hop, skip or dance along the course to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the Christmas season. Costumes and Christmas attire are welcome.

The 5K will start just after sunset, so most of the event will take place after dark. There will be glow in the dark items passed out at packet pick up, but all participants are encouraged to bring a small flashlight to use during the event.

The Fun Run will be for children 12 and under and will be approximately 0.6 mile. Adults can participate with children in the Fun Run for free. (T-Shirt not included, but can be purchased)
