Santa Made Me Do It

Santa Made Me Do It! is a December 5K held in Connecticut, featuring a Christmas theme. It also includes a 2-mile walk and a Kids Fun Run. The road-race version is located in Bethlehem, CT, coinciding with the annual Christmastown Festival. A separate listing describes the 5K as a trail event in Glastonbury. This is a modest local event, typically attracting 100 to 500 participants. Its connection to the festival positions it as a family holiday race day rather than solely a competitive runners' event, with walkers, children, and 5K runners all part of the day's activities.
