Reindeer Run/Walk

Reindeer Run/Walk is held in American Canyon, California, on December 5, 2026, with the 10K run at 9:00 AM and the 5K run/walk at 9:05 AM. It is open to every level, with runners and walkers sharing the morning, pre-race festivities and a family-friendly atmosphere. A virtual option lets you take part from anywhere if you cannot be there in person.

Two distances five minutes apart is worth thinking about at the start line: pick your race honestly, because the 10K field will be moving through the same early stretch. If you already race 5Ks comfortably and want to move up, the 10K is the natural next rung, and a month of adding one 45-minute run per week will get you there. Walkers have no reason to hurry, since the 5K accommodates them by design.
