About this event

The Annual Cookie Monster Charity Run! 🍪🏃

Join us for a sweet race that supports a wonderful cause! The Cookie Monster Run offers a unique challenge where your speed is measured not just by time, but by your cookie-eating prowess! Every step and every bite will help bring holiday joy to local families in need.

The Cause: Why We Run (and Eat!)

Our goal is simple: to raise money to buy Christmas gifts for families that cannot afford them . All funds collected through the event—from entry fees to additional donations—will be used to purchase and deliver presents, ensuring every child has a happy holiday season.

Race Details & Entry

RACES :

• 3 Mile Cookie Monster Run: The full challenge for adults and older participants.

• 1 Mile Kids Cookie Monster Run: A shorter, fun run for our younger cookie enthusiasts

ENTRY FEE :

We are asking for a monetary donation of your choice as your entry fee. There will be a secure box at the registration table for all donations. You can also use the " Donate " link on the menu.

Can't make it to the race? You can still donate! Every dollar makes a difference in buying gifts.

How It Works: The Ultimate Cookie Challenge

This is not your average race! Whether you choose the 3-mile or 1-mile distance, the course is broken down into quarter-mile (0.25 mile) segments .

• Run the first 0.25 milesegment.

• STOP and eat as many cookies as you want/can! We'll mark your bib for each cookie you finish, so you don't have to worry about counting.

• Turn around and run back to the next cookie stop.

• Repeat this process until you have completed the full 3 miles (or 1 mile for the Kids Run).

RULES OF THE ROAD (and the Cookie Stop):

• Finish swallowing the cookie before you start running to the next segment.

• As long as the cookie is swallowed, it counts toward your score!

• You'll be able to choose whatever type of cookie you want at each stop—pick your favorites!

Awards: Who Will Be the Ultimate Cookie Monster?

Our unique scoring system rewards both speed and consumption!

WINNER IS DETERMINED BY NUMBER OF COOKIES EATEN FIRST, THEN TIME .

Your final Time will be calculated as your Run Time MINUS 1 MINUTE for each cookie you successfully eat!
