It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Get ready to embrace the holiday spirit at Fleet Feet Fayetteville's inaugural Santa Shuffle on Dec. 14, held at the Jordan Soccer Complex (445 Treetop Drive), at 8:30 a.m. April Cobb, the dedicated Community Outreach Coordinator, is excited to unveil plans for this festive family event that promises to unite our vibrant community through joy and movement.
Cobb believes in the power of community and is passionate about fostering connections within the runner community and with local organizations and businesses. Her mission has always been to create a vibrant environment that benefits everyone.
This year, Fleet Feet Fayetteville is hosting its first Santa Shuffle. The Santa Shuffle is a non-competitive, non-timed event designed for everyone whether you choose to run, walk, or shuffle along with loved ones. This inclusive celebration welcomes strollers and pets with open arms. Imagine a lively scene filled with Santas of all shapes and sizes, jogging alongside their furry friends or pushing strollers as they spread cheer throughout the course. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience.
“We initially reserved 80 Santa suits for our first participants, but thanks to the overwhelming enthusiasm from our Fayetteville community, suits were claimed in record time! In response to this excitement, we’ve secured more suits and are thrilled to offer free Santa suits for the first 180 registrants. What a fantastic way to spread holiday cheer!” April excitedly shares.
In-store warm-ups and suit fittings are Dec. 12, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Dec. 13, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All registered participants will receive a medal upon completing the shuffle. A display of drinks and snacks will be available. Be one of the lucky registrants to receive their Santa suit! Last-minute packet pick-ups are available on race day from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. near the start line.
Fleet Feet Fayetteville believes that attention to detail can inspire both novices and seasoned athletes. Their mission is not just about selling products - they want to elevate the passion for running or walking to new heights.
