Santa Suit Information
The signature feature of this event is the hundreds of Santas running down the street. This means that the suit is mandatory!
Participants will receive a full Santa Suit with the entry fee. The suit consists of a jacket, pants, hat, beard and belt, and the entire Santa Suit must be worn during the event. In the spirit of the event, any participant not wearing the full Santa Suit will be removed from further participation without refund.
Please remember to keep your Santa Suit for the following years, to receive an entry fee discount!
The Santa Suits come in three sizes, Mens, Womens, and Youth. They are on the large size, so many people choose a smaller size.
We recommend picking up your kit and suit at the Friday kit pickup so that you can tailor your suit before the race!
