✨ 6+ Years of Locust Elfie Magic! ✨
It’s wild to look back and see how much the Locust Elfie 5K has evolved over the years. From our very first race to today, we’ve created quite the collection of medals — sparkly, shiny, festive, and full of Elfie personality. Scroll through the pics and check out all the bling you can expect again this year! 👀✨

And don’t forget the shirts… every year we try to top ourselves, and this year’s tee might just be our best yet. 🎄👕

But through all the changes, one thing has stayed absolutely the same:
❤️ Our community. The support. The joy. The love. ❤️
You show up for each other, for the season, and for the spirit of being part of something good.

Here’s to another year of Elfie fun, memories, and sparkle! ✨🎅🏼🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Stay tuned for information about packet pick up!
