47th annual Reindeer Run

The 47th annual Reindeer Run took place Dec. 14, ahead of the Ocala Christmas Parade.

“The race was put on by the Ocala Runners Club in partnership with Radical Runs. There was no associated charity this year, but we will be making a small donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Marion County. The race was presented by the Gaekwad family,” said Darrin DeTorres.

Last year’s top overall winner Luke Lombardo repeated as champion this year, with a time of 16:34.

Sydney Farris, a 7th grader, was the top overall female. Her time this year was 20:04. She was also last year’s champion and her time in 2023 was 20:59, DeTorres noted.
