Speed meets chaos in the best way possible! Gather your team of “reindeer” and prepare to dash, dodge, and dominate the course in this fast-paced holiday showdown on Friday, December 12, from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. Each leg is a sprint for glory as your squad leaves nothing but snow and sweat behind. Expect laughs, competition, and maybe a few antlers out of place. Will your team cross the finish line first — or crumble in the chaos? Either way, it’s going to be a sleigh-load of fun!
