Reindeer Run at ShawneeCraft 5K

Reindeer Run at ShawneeCraft 5K is held on December 12, 2026 in Smithfield Township, Pennsylvania. The 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 10:00 a.m. and an untimed 1-mile walk follows at 10:05 a.m., both based at the ShawneeCraft brewery and the historic Shawnee Inn and Golf Course. The scenic route crosses a bridge, follows cart paths and fairways and takes in a wooded trail before finishing at the brewery. There is chip timing, overall and age-group awards, a free craft beer or soda at the finish, t-shirts and upgraded beer glasses, live music and post-race food.

Mixed surfaces like fairways and a wooded section make this slower than a pure road 5K, so judge yourself on effort rather than the clock. A month of consistent running is enough preparation, and the walk option is there if you would rather stroll the mile.
