Golden GRINCH 5k Fun Run & 1k Family Trot

Looking for a fun opportunity to spend some quality time with your family outside of your home during the holidays? Look no further, the Golden Sweet Potato Festival is hosting the Golden GRINCH 5k fun run & 1k Family Trot. 

Our 5k run will take you through the beautiful country roads of Golden Texas, and it is perfect for those who want to improve their running time, or for those who prefer a more leisurely pace. 

We also offer a 1k route, which is ideal for families with young children, especially if you are pushing a stroller. No need to register kids who are 4 and under, but please note that shirts are not provided for them.  

We are now accepting online registrations until the end of November 30th. To register, please fill out our online form and keep an eye on your email for a PayPal invoice from Golden Sweet Potato Festival. Please make sure to pay the invoice as soon as possible, as payment is necessary to complete the registration process. Only those who register and pay online will receive a t-shirt on the day of the run.

For my fellow procrastinators or those who hear about our event a little later we will offer walk-up registration at 7:00 am the day of the event.  No t-shirts will be available for walk-up registrations. 

At the end of both of our routes, you will have the opportunity to take a picture with The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who! 

We want to see your best holiday dress for this event!!  There will be a prize for the best holiday costume!!  We want to see your elves, Santa's, reindeer, INFLATABLES, show up and SHOW out! 

All proceeds from this event will fund Golden Kids Christmas, providing gifts for Wood County families.

We look forward to seeing you and your family!
