Tips & Advice
- Register early, because the entry price rises in steps at 90, 60, 30, 15, 7 and 3 days out and is highest on race day.
- Sign up four or more runners together in a single registration to get a discount for each person in the group.
- Pick the Half Marathon Slow Racers entry if you expect to take more than three hours, since that group starts earlier than the main field.
- Skip buying a costume, because a Santa suit comes with your registration and the whole field runs the course dressed as Santa.
- Grab milk and cookies at the festive aid stations, which also serve water and Powerade and are run by volunteers dressed as elves.
Special Events & Promotions
- Group discount when four or more racers register at the same time.
- Half Marathon Slow Racers group with an earlier start for those taking more than three hours.
- A virtual Santa Run option for those racing on their own.
