Holiday Magic brings seasonal spirit to the Square
It was an evening full of holiday fun in San Marco Square as the sound of pounding pavement, bells on bobbed tails ringing and the cheering on of finishers as the Festival of Lights 5K road race kicked off the annual celebration of Holiday Magic, Dec. 5.
Alongside the San Marco Merchant Association and dozens of local craft vendors, First Place Sports ensured the running event and holiday fundraiser went off without a hitch. As road runners in their Christmas-clad attire raced through the streets of San Marco, local families and eager holiday shoppers enjoyed the cool evening browsing, dining, and taking hayrides around Balis Park.
The annual beneficiary of the 5K, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, will help to fund UF Health and Wolfson Children’s Hospital offerings for local kids in need of critical care. The network of 170 member hospitals provides over 32 million treatments each year across the US and Canada. Donations raised locally stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services from telehealth to pediatric medical equipment and much more.
