From the organizers
Have you been good all year?? According to German Folklore Saint Nicholas rewards good children with sweets and gifts and Krampus punishes bad ones with switches and on occasion Krampus kidnaps the misbehaved by putting them in a sack or basket to haul away to the underworld! On November 28th at 10am the Krampus 5k run and 1 mile walk will take place at the Utica Maennerchor Club at 5535 Flanagan Rd Marcy, NY 13403! This is an out and back course starting from the Maennerchor, up to the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus finishing back at the club. Let's see who can get back without getting caught by Krampus and ensure St. Nicholas will visit you this Christmas!!
