Sleigh the Games: Weekend Schedule

December 12-14, 2025

Friday

Chase the Glow returns to kick off Sleigh the Games on December 12, 2025! Friday starts the weekend on a cozy note with Chase the Glow 4 mile & 1 mile races. Settle into your lodging and get ready for the fun ahead. Chase the Glow brings a family friendly one mile and four mile run past the holiday lights, ending in Bond Park with hot chocolate and handmade cookies. The perfect start to the weekend.

Saturday

Saturday brings a full lineup of holiday fun, from the Yule Log Hoist to the Team Sled Pull and the always hilarious Dog Costume Contest. It is a great day to gather with family and friends, try a few challenges, and knock out some punch card stamps along the way. A simple, playful way to enjoy the season together before the big tournament on Sunday.

Sunday

Sunday wraps up the weekend with two of the sweetest highlights. The Snowball Tournament brings teams of five into a fast paced mix of dodgeball and capture the flag, while the Sweet Stroll offers treats and a chance to wander downtown at your own pace. Whether you are cheering from the sidelines, competing with your crew, or strolling for something sweet, it is an easy, festive way to close out the weekend.

Sunday Sweets Stroll

The Sweets Stroll is back to wrap up Sleigh the Games on Sunday, bringing a sugar-dusted walk through downtown Estes Park. Pick up your free punch card at the Visitor Center, then wander between candy shops, bakeries, chocolatiers, and more, each offering a complimentary treat. Collect stamps, sample goodies, and enjoy a simple holiday moment that tastes just as sweet as it feels. Supplies are limited, so come early and stroll happy.
