Join us downtown for a holiday fun run/walk that’s open to all ages and pay what you will! It’s ¾ of a mile out and ¾ of a mile back, for a grand total of 1.5 miles. That’s roughly half a 5K, so no need to train, just bring your friends and enjoy a morning walk or run on the Greenway. All participants receive a Santa hat, participants 21+ get a Wassail Trail passport and those under 21 will get a Kids Wassail passport!
Dress up as Santa, your favorite character from ‘The Grinch’, or whatever gets you in the holiday spirit so you can enjoy a full day of activities at Winterfest! So, register now to run, walk, or jog for a fun way to kick off the holiday season.
Never wassailed before? Wassail is a traditional holiday drink, typically made with warm spiced cider, and wassailing is the centuries-old tradition of gathering, drinking, and spreading good cheer. So, after the run, keep the festivities going with the Winterfest Wassail Trail, featuring alcoholic and nonalcoholic holiday drinks at participating downtown businesses. Thanks to Destination Downtown Waynesboro’s designated outdoor refreshment area (DORA), you can enjoy your drinks while strolling through downtown. Grab your friends, do a little holiday shopping, and make a festive bar crawl out of it!
Your registration supports Destination Downtown Waynesboro as we boost local shops, celebrate our historic streets, and keep downtown a welcoming gathering place for everyone.
