Run Santa Run Augusta

Run Santa Run Augusta begins and ends near Southbound Smokehouse on Center Street in North Augusta, South Carolina, adjacent to SRP Park and a trailhead. This December holiday race offers three distances: a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The half marathon begins first, with the shorter races starting shortly after, accommodating runners seeking a longer winter run and those preferring a festive 5K. The course features elevation changes; the half marathon follows a two-loop out-and-back path. Aid stations are positioned along the longer course, providing water, Gatorade, and GU, with bananas available at the finish. Participants may switch distances before race day or on race morning by informing the head timer. Awards are presented for age groups ranging from 19-and-under to 70-plus. The Augusta event is part of the Run Santa Run series, which includes locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Race merchandise includes a Run Santa Run hoodie.
