Join us for our Santa's Fun Run! This event will include a 5K and a NEW Kid's Dash (0.5 miles). Our 5k race will be chip timed and will start and finish at the Olson Cultural Event Center in downtown Le Mars and will lead you through residential Le Mars and onto our recreation trail. The Kids Dash will start after the 5K participants have left. The kids will run 0.5 miles, out-and-back. (not chip-timed)
