The following is a news release from West Texas Endurance:
West Texas Endurance will host the 6th Annual Carol of Lights Run (presented by Covenant Health) on Sunday, December 3 on the campus of Texas Tech University. Enjoy the spirit of the season with an evening run beginning at 6:45 p.m. There will be 2 distances offered, including a “family friendly” course of 1 mile that will take you through the more than 25,000 colored lights that illuminate the many buildings on campus, while being entertained with carolers and a band along the course. A 5K (3.1 miles) course will additionally have the participants running a lap through Jones AT&T Stadium with great photo opportunities available. After crossing the finish line, all runners will enjoy Santa’s snacks that will provide a warm treat on a cold winter’s night.
Items from the “wish list” will be collected and donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of
the Southwest.
David Nelson, Principal of West Texas Endurance said “The Carol of Lights Run is a wonderful
holiday tradition that unites the Texas Tech family with the entire Lubbock community. What
better way to usher in the holiday season than to join more than 1,000 participants for this fun,
family-friendly race. Participants will have the opportunity to dash through the illuminated campus
while enjoying the unique sights and sounds of the Christmas season.
