2nd Annual Reindeer Run/Walk draws runners to Savannah!!



With just a few days left to register, more than 200 people will get on their marks, get set and go Saturday morning for the 2nd Annual 8k Reindeer Run/Walk at the International Trade and Convention Center on Hutchinson Island.

You can still sign up and register athttp://www.fleetfeetsavannah.com/reindeer-run.

The first 80 runners to pick up their packets will get a free fleece blanket from IKEA.

Proceeds from the run benefit the Rape Crisis Center. Participants are also asked to bring a canned good to be donated to America's Second Harvest.

At 8:45 a.m., the kids run around Bryan Square will kick off the event. The kids run is Free.

At 9:00 a.m., the Savannah Reindeer Run/Walk begins. Come dressed in your favorite holiday themed costume and win a prize. Winners will be judged on costume, not race results and must race in costume and finish the race.

WTOC's Don Logana and Lynda Figueredo will host the morning activities, which will also feature a Chili Cook Off pitting the talents of Savor Savannah, Hyatt Hotel, Hilton Hotel, Marriott Riverfront and the Westin against each other.

Celebrity Judges for the cook-off are Jamie Deen, South Magazine's Michael Brooks, movie producer and Leopold Ice Cream's Stratton Leopold and Savannah's tourism and social media guru, Amy Brock. Plus, special guest, the Ambassador of Laughter, from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.

Santa will be in town, plus a very special feature of the event focuses on the cause, which is rape crisis. Organizers have brought in a display of unique medallions made from shards of china plates thrown by victims, as they turn anger into art.
