About this run
Come join us for our annual Christmas tree lighting, and "Let Your Light Shine" as Christian City presents its annual Christmas Star Run. This will be a family friendly event complete with Christmas lights, food trucks and entertainment. Glow wear will be provided, but we encourage all participants to dress festive and wear holiday lights. Our flat 5K and 1-mile courses wind through Christian City's beautiful, 500-acre campus where we offer love and hope to vulnerable children and youth. The Christmas Star Run is also a AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Proceeds benefit Christian City's five Children & Family Programs which offer life changing hope to children in crisis.
