About this race
Get ready to celebrate the holiday season at Ada’s new "The Santa Dash" Run/Walk!
Starting this year’s Santa Parade, the event welcomes everyone—children from 1 to 99—to put on their sneakers and participate in the fun. Each runner and walker will get their own Santa suit and kick off the Ada Santa Parade together! The Santa Dash will follow the same route as the parade, ensuring a fully closed course. Ideal for families, friends, and holiday enthusiasts, the Santa Dash offers a cheerful way to celebrate the season before the parade starts. Every finisher will receive a finisher medal as well!
The Santa Dash course is 0.7 miles!
Kids Race Free!
Kids 9 and under can enter for free. They must be accompanied by an adult and registered for the race, just like everyone else, but you will not be charged.
