West Texas Endurance will host the 5th Annual Carol of Lights Run (presented by Covenant Health) on Sunday, December 4 on the campus of Texas Tech University. Enjoy the spirit of the season with an evening run beginning at 6:45 pm. 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.
In partnership with Cardinal’s Sport Center, items will be collected and donated to Buckner International and Children’s Home of Texas.
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.
Race day registration is also available on Sunday, December 4 from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the Northeast corner of the Chemistry Building on the campus of Texas Tech University.
