Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
Run starts at 6pm at the Quitman Elementary School.
Get into the holiday spirit at our Santa Run 5K! 🎅🎄
Whether you run, walk, or jingle all the way, this is a fun event for all ages and fitness levels. Bring your family and friends, dress in your favorite Christmas gear, and enjoy the Christmas lights along the route.
Dogs are welcome too! 🐾 Since we’ll be running through the city, all dogs must be leashed. Dogs can join you for free, or you can add your dog during registration if you’d like them to receive their own medal. You’ll also have the option to purchase a T-shirt for your dog.
Wear your Santa hats, elf ears, reindeer antlers, Christmas pajamas—or whatever gets you in the holiday spirit!
We’ll have Santa’s favorite snack (sugar cookies!) waiting for you as you pass the water station. 🍪 And be on the lookout for one of Santa’s favorite reindeer waiting for you at the finish line! 🦌
Early Packet Pickup – Friday, December 11
8:00–11:00 AM at Honor Coffee Co.

Come out and enjoy a fun evening with us. Run it, walk it, bring the kids, bring the dog—and let’s have some Christmas fun! 🎄
