Run Rudolph Run Returns to Lovers Point December 12 With a 5K, Kids’ 1K and Arthritis Research Fundraiser

PACIFIC GROVE, Monterey County — October 27, 2026. Families, runners and walkers have a holiday fundraising opportunity along Monterey Bay. The Arthritis Research Coalition lists Run Rudolph Run for Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Lovers Point Park, Pacific Grove.

Different ways to take part

The organizer advertises timed and untimed 5K races, a 1K Elf Race for children, and options to walk, roll or stroll with family and friends. Festive attire and pets are welcome under event rules. The coalition also lists costume contests, family activities and seasonal characters.

How it supports the community

The event supports the work of the Arthritis Research Coalition, which identifies itself as a registered charitable nonprofit. Its fundraising objective should not be described as a grant already received or research findings the event itself has produced. Registration fees, fundraising options, route accessibility and any pet requirements depend on the organizer’s current terms.

The coalition provides separate links for participant registration, volunteers and sponsors, as well as an event map and parking information. Because part of the event uses coastal pathways, check organizer route notices and any temporary access restrictions before driving.
