I ran in my favorite 5k again this year! I don't really enjoy running races, but this one is a favorite of mine. It starts at dark and the race is lit up by Christmas lights around Lake Lanier. The runners are treated to a Christmas ambiance with holiday music and a view in the dark that is one of a kind. They had more vendors this year, so Casey treated himself to a few of the foodie freebies before the race began.
People dress up and there are prizes for the best Christmas costumes with different categories.
Contest Categories:
*Best Santa Claus
*Best Christmas Tree
