The mission of the A Christmas Story Run is to provide a race that promotes health and fitness, stimulate the local economy and galvanize the community. These events are made possible through corporate and foundation in-kind and financial support, close partnerships between the A Christmas Story House & Museum and RoadRunner Enterprises 100 LLC, with generous support from presenting sponsor First Federal Lakewood.

Proceeds from the A Christmas Story Run benefit the A Christmas Story House Foundation, a non-profit foundation established to restore and maintain the neighborhood surrounding the A Christmas Story House & Museum for future generations to experience and enjoy. The foundation provides grants, both public and private, to projects that enhance and preserve the surrounding neighborhood. The foundation also provides educational scholarships to families of A Christmas Story House to create college opportunities for our next generation.
