Deck the Heels Night Run
The Deck the Heels 5K Night Run is a festive running event held annually in Altavista, Virginia, typically on the second Saturday of December. The 5K course takes runners through city streets adorned with holiday lights and decorations, including a route that crosses a river bridge and passes through a tunnel in Hurt, VA. Participants are encouraged to wear festive attire and glow-in-the-dark accessories are available.
After the race, a holiday celebration features Santa, food, hot chocolate, and music. The event also offers a virtual 5K option for remote participation. All finishers receive medals, and long-sleeve shirts are provided to early registrants.
The race supports the Claire Parker Foundation, aiding families affected by pediatric cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
