About this race
Join us on December 19th at Bill Moore Community Park (Fletch Park) for a fun and festive morning! We want to flood the day with running Santas, walking Santas, Santa Paws, and little Santas! This is a non-competitive, non-timed event, meant to bring a little fun to the holiday season!
All paces are welcome, as well as strollers. Pets are welcome and encouraged! We don't have any Santa suits for the pups, but we would love to see them dressed up, too!
$45 fee includes race entry, bib, medal, food, and Santa Suit.
**We have 125 Santa Suits available**
PACKET/SANTA SUIT PICK UP:
IN-STORE AT FLEET FEET ASHEVILLE: Saturday 12/12 11am-5:30pm and Sunday 12/13 12pm-4:30pm
Last-minute packet pick-up on race day (12/19) will be at the Pavilion, from 10am to 11am.
