Greg Warmoth Reindeer Run raises money for families battling childhood cancer

ORLANDO, Fla. — It was a wonderful, snowy morning at SeaWorld for this year’s Greg Warmoth Reindeer Run.

For the runners, joggers and walkers, who took part in the three-mile route through the theme park, it was even complete with fake snow flurries.

It was a capacity crowd for the event, which raises money for pediatric and bone marrow transplant programs at AdventHealth for children.

The course carried participants through SeaWorld’s wintery, watery wonderland and a sea of holiday trees all to the sound of holiday bells.
