Your nose will be red, merry and bright after the Rudolph Ramble 8K in Chicago's Lincoln Park on Dec. 10. More than 1,000 people participated last year in the snowy race on the Lakefront Path.

The 8K race and walk begins at 9 a.m. on the Lakefront Path east of Cannon Drive and north of Fullerton. The Donner Dashes for kids 2 through 12 begin at 10 a.m.

Race day registration is open at 7 a.m. and closes 15 minutes before the start of the event. Race day registration is $35 cash only for the 8K run/walk or $15 cash only for the Donner Dash. Packet pickup is at Fleet Feet Sports ( www.fleetfeetchicago.com) or at the race beginning at 7 a.m.

All runners receive a technical longsleeve shirt. The race is ChampionChip timed, and results will be available at www.chicagoaa.com after the race.

The race benefits Children's Memorial Hospital. All participants are encouraged to bring a new toy worth $10 or more to the race to donate to the hospital. Last year, the race donated more than 2,000 toys.
