RESULTS 

Today's event! Preparations are underway

Good afternoon everyone! 

Work is diligently underway here at Elf Headquarters and we are anxiously awaiting all of our runner’s arrival! We have decided to move the Catalinas’ concert inside due to the weather, we will be enjoying the Catalinas’ in the SCS gym starting around 5:30, this is sure to be a jolly good time. The kids Fun Run will be cancelled due to the wet conditions on the field, for safety reasons it is not wise to use the inflatables. There is still plenty of fun to be had so be sure to join us and enjoy the  2014 Running of the Elves.

Registration opens at 4! 

See you soon!

We have a few other surprises that will be announced as we get closer to the event.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

Hello Fellow Elves,


Registration is open, please register early!


We are going to have a few new things this year.  1st is the UGLY SWEATER contest along with the COSTUME contest. 


The Elf Committee has also decided to have a entertainment village, aka inflatable slides and obstacle course for the kids. 


The course for the 2014 Running of the Elves will also be runner friendly with very little car traffic.  We are working with the city to restrict the traffic on the course for elf safety. 


We will be announcing more details closer to the event.  Let us know if you have any suggestions or questions.  Thanks.
