Kids from 1 to 92 are invited to take an evening run, walk, dash, dance or prance through the two-mile course that offers a “sneaker preview” of Celebrate The Season’s Holiday Lights Driving Tour. The race begins at Old Santee Canal Park on Stony Landing Road in Moncks Corner.

This family friendly, rain-or-shine event will feature a special guest appearance from Santa Claus, glow necklaces for all participants, after-race entertainment and more. All proceeds from the Tinsel Trot will be donated to local charities in conjunction with those raised through Celebrate The Season.

The out-and-back course reverses near the Santee Cooper entrance on Rembert C. Dennis Boulevard/U.S. Highway 52 and finishes back at Old Santee Canal Park. The route is a smooth, paved surface with some slight dips and inclines. Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome.
