Utah Santa Run - Gardner Village 2026

The Gardner Village Santa Run is a Santa-themed running event in West Jordan, Utah. Runners line up in Santa suits instead of standard race gear. Registration includes the suit. The event offers longer race options with a half marathon and 10K, alongside the 5K that was part of the race before. The race leans into the holiday setup: participants run dressed as Santa, volunteers dress as elves, and aid stations serve milk and cookies along with water and Powerade. It is built more around the shared costume-and-festive-aid-station experience than around a technical course story or elite racing angle.
