Carrera de Papá Noel de Santiago de Compostela 2026

Every participant in the Carrera de Papá Noel de Santiago de Compostela receives a complete Santa suit, including trousers, jacket, belt, hat, and beard. This is a non-competitive 5 km run taking place in Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, during December as part of the city’s Christmas festivities. The registration also provides a race bib and a participation certificate, indicating the event focuses more on joining the holiday atmosphere than on achieving a specific time. The race is organized by Deporticket and combines the Christmas theme with fundraising for ASANOG, the Galician Association for Childhood and Adolescent Cancer. Participants can offer additional support via the Dorsal 0 option, allowing contributions from those unable to run. A portion of the funds generated supports ASANOG's programs, which assist children with cancer and their families in hospitals and homes throughout Galicia.
