Dress in your best holiday gear for the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce’s annual Elf Yourself 5K. The family-friendly run/walk follows a flat course entirely within Lake Forest Sports Park, with waves for runners, joggers, walkers, strollers, and pets.
Stick around for the post-race expo featuring local vendors, food samples, raffles, and Candy Cane Lane, a Kids’ Zone with photos with Santa, games, activities, bounce houses, and more. Pets can also dress up and join the Pet Costume Contest.
Admission: 5K registration is $54.80 including fees. Registration is required to participate in the race.
