About this race
Rudolph’s Run 5K – Supporting Motorcycle Santa
Motorcycle Santa is a Delaware-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing comfort, joy, and tangible support to children facing medical hardship and their families during the holiday season.
What began as a festive idea has grown into a focused, community-powered charity. Every year we deliver toys, essential items, and financial assistance to children and families dealing with unexpected medical challenges. We are proud supporters of the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware, provide direct aid to individual families in need, and partner with other local charities to extend our reach.
Our signature style remains unmistakably fun: Motorcycle Santa and his crew of elves still roll through the community on two wheels, sleigh in tow, spreading holiday spirit in a way only we can. Behind the cheer is a clear mission—helping kids who need it most when the holidays arrive.
Join us for Rudolph’s Run 5K and help fuel that mission. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation directly supports the children and families we serve.
Lace up. Run with purpose. Make a difference this holiday season. Sign up today!
