Reindeer Stampede 5k

The Reindeer Stampede 5k/Fun Run is a festive running event held annually in downtown Richlands, North Carolina. Participants can choose between a 5k run, a fun run, or a virtual run option. The event supports local families by providing pantry staples and personal care items through Operation Christmas Stocking and the Blessing Shed.

Runners are encouraged to dress in holiday attire, with optional reindeer antlers and costume contests adding to the cheerful atmosphere. The race features finisher medals, awards across various age groups, refreshments, and team prizes. It combines holiday spirit with community support, aiming to "stampede hunger" out of the area during the holiday season. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
