About this race
Event Overview
What is not to like about this 5K-ish….dress like Santa and beer….almost forgot about the running. All Santas start at a bar in the north side in Bethlehem (FLYING PIG), to warm up, have some drinks and enjoy company. At noon – Santas take off for a run around Bethlehem area bars where the first 24 to get to each location receive a free beer. To everyone else – drink specials! At 3 PM, all Santas will come back together at Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub for live music and tons of fun.
