WE’RE BACK FOR OUR 6th YEAR!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 7, as we launch the Holiday season with our 6th Annual NARMC Santa Shuffle Fun Run/Walk. Embrace the joy of giving this year while creating lasting memories. Consider making this a fresh addition to your holiday traditions! We’ll begin at North Arkansas Regional Medical Center, where you can walk or jog alongside Santa and Mrs. Claus down Harrison’s Main Street and around our historic town square, all while being serenaded by Christmas music and cheered on by Santa’s helpers.
Once you cross the finish line, Santa’s elves will welcome you with a limited-edition Santa Shuffle medal around your neck, then you can head over to Santa’s sweet shop for some hot cocoa and cookies. This will be a day to remember!
Simply donate a new child’s toy and you will receive a FREE Santa Suit (coat, pants, hat, belt and a beard) to wear the day of the race! This event is for ALL ages.
