Calendar/Event Details

6th Annual Chase the Grinch out of Snohomish Fun Run!

Start/Finish at Averill Field next to Snohomish Boys and Girls Club
405 Third Street, Snohomish, WA


The infamous Grinch has threatened to spoil all of the holiday merriment in our little town of Sno-Who-Mish!  

Runners & walkers can help restore holiday order by Chasing the Grinch out of town on December 8th at 9 a.m. The fun-run 5K and 10k routes start and finish at our “Cheermeister Village” at 405 Third Street in Snohomish. The route takes you along the picturesque Centennial Trail. This fun & mostly flat 5K & 10K distance is a fully supported out-and-back course. Runners return to a festive & fun finish line with hot chocolate & post-run snacks, as well as entertainment & photo ops galore!

NEW THIS YEAR! See the Grinch and friends for a special photo op on the race course at the Grinch's home on snowy Mount Crumpit!

All registrants for the 5K and 10K will receive a swag bag including a gender-specific technical event tee along with an official medal showing that you helped Chase the Grinch out of Town. Register early to guarantee your tech tee sizing!

Don’t worry, the kids will have a chance to help too! Our Christmas Gnome will send kids 13 & under on their way for the ½ mile Kids Dash. Parents may accompany their kids on the dash. They’ll return for hot cocoa, cider, cookies & their very own finisher medal for helping to get rid of the grumpy Grinch!

Wear your most fun & festive attire to help spread holiday joy as we continue the yearly tradition in Historic Downtown Snohomish!

STROLLERS ARE OK!
Please note only 5k and 10k participants will receive a tech t-shirt and swag bag.
