The Santa Spotters are keeping watch as the Great Six charge through the course, heading toward Canada and Schenectady, New York.
With the rest of the reindeer racing on, the excitement builds—not just for the marathon, but for Dasher and Comet’s high-flying mission. Will they rescue Santa in time? Can they reach the shuttle before it’s too late?
