Locust Elfie Run

The Locust Elfie 5K Run/Walk is a festive running event held annually in Locust, North Carolina, with the 2025 race scheduled for December 7. The race features a fast and relatively flat course through the Locust Town Center and nearby neighborhoods, designed to welcome the holiday season. Participants are encouraged to wear Christmas-themed attire, with prizes awarded for the best dressed "Elfie." The event offers overall awards for the top male and female finishers, as well as age group awards across multiple categories.

Early registrants receive special Christmas socks, and the race emphasizes safety with marked courses and designated parking to keep streets clear. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
