About the Race
- Description: Every December, the town comes alive with twinkling lights, carolers, and the smell of hot cocoa in the air—but nothing kicks off the holiday season quite like the Run Santa Run 5K. This festive race is more than just a run—it’s a Christmas celebration on the move!
- Dress Code: Participants are encouraged to wear their best Christmas gear—think Santa hats, elf costumes, reindeer antlers, and even full-on ugly sweaters.
- Special Appearance: But the highlight of the event? Santa Claus himself makes an appearance at the finish line! He’s there to greet the runners, hand out medals, and pose for photos.
- Registration Perks: Registration includes custom pajama pants, finisher medal, Santa hat, and swag bag.
