🏃‍♀️ **RUN THE WEEKEND PRESENTS:**

# **HOLIDAY SOIRÉE!**

**December 12 & 13, 2025 | The Milk District – Downtown Orlando**

Created in collaboration with **Smoke & Donuts**.

Run The Weekend is a community-based running festival built on the belief that *everyone* is a runner - or has the potential to be. Whether you’re just curious about running or you’re a seasoned athlete, this weekend is for you. All paces, all backgrounds, all identities -come move, explore, and have fun with us.

This isn’t your typical running event - it’s a full-blown celebration. Expect **two group runs, two competitive races, a live DJ, food, portraits, a costume contest, and an incredible community experience.**

And yes… **General Admission is FREE.**

We want this to be accessible to everyone.
But! **Some experiences and races are paid, and supporting those helps keep events like this free for the community.** ❤️&#x20;

There’s also a **$12 “Support Us” Tier** - it doesn’t include any extras or race entries, it’s simply a way to back the project if you believe in what we’re building and want to help keep these community festivals going.
