PRESENTED BY


Join us for the 8th Annual Christmas City Santa Run on Saturday, December 12th, 2026 to support The Launch Pad Teen Center. This 10k, 5k and 1-mile fun run at the Brownlow Trail will raise funds to support out of school and leadership programs at The Launch Pad Teen Center.

Santa Beard and Hat!
This year's run is full of fun! Register for the 10k or 5k and receive a Santa Hat, Beard, and commemorative Santa Run ornament (We do encourage you to run in full Santa Gear...you could win a prize), or register yourself and/or your little one for the Rudolph Run and get a set of antlers and a red nose! There will be Christmas surprises throughout the race course, a cookie, hot cider and cocoa booth at the beginning/end of the race, and a prize of an Ugly Sweater for 1st and 2nd place runners in both the women's and men's groups, and prizes for the 1st and 2nd place runners 11 years and younger for the 1 mile Rudolph Run.

Cookies!
This year's Race Course Cookie Stop is Sponsored by Ryan Glennan & PJD Securities! All Santa's run for cookies, and Ryan Glennan & PJD Securities are committed to keeping everyone fueled for the run.

Things to Know Before Registering:

  1. The Christmas City Santa Run is not a sanctioned event.
  2. Your bib must be visibly displayed on your chest for your time to be recorded.
  3. Your unofficial times will be posted after the event.
  4. We are allowing two hours from the start of the 10k race to complete all race heats. This means all timing will complete at 12:00pm. You are allowed to continue at your own pace, however no times will be recorded past noon.
  5. The Brownlow Trail is super fun with rolling hills, fun turns, and beautiful scenery, but it would be tough to run with a stroller. If you are thinking of bringing your kiddo in a stroller, come and check out the race course in advance.
