Reindeer Run/Walk 5K

Reindeer Run/Walk 5K takes place in Vilonia, Arkansas, on December 5, 2026, with one event, a 5K run or walk, starting at 8:00 AM. It is organized by the local Lions Club, and the single distance and single start keep the morning simple: one road loop, done well before the rest of the day begins.

An 8:00 AM start in December asks for a little planning. Arrive with time to spare, stay moving rather than sitting in a warm car, and do ten minutes of easy jogging with two or three strides so the opening mile does not catch you cold. Layers you can hand off at the start are worth more than heroics. If the 5K is your first race, the goal that serves you best is finishing at a steady effort rather than matching whoever sprints away in the first hundred meters.
