Race Information
The Run Santa Run at the Henry J. Kluth Park is a sight and sound Christmas experience! The one mile and 5K courses are lined with Christmas lights, inflatables, and music. Runners and walkers start from Santa’s lighted Runway and run through Candy Cane Land, Hershey Kiss Kingdom, Winter Wonderland, Snowman’s Paradise, Rudolph’s Run, and finish under Santa Bowlegs in a snow blizzard. Christmas music will be featured at several points on the route. You will be greeted at the finish by a giant Santa and lots of snow.
This 5K is run after dark so that participants can enjoy the full effect of the Christmas lights.
