2024 Utah County Santa Run 5K 2026

The Utah County Santa Run is a 5K and 1.55-mile holiday run in Salem, Utah, near Payson. It starts on a Saturday afternoon in December at 60 North 100 East, and it closes out the Utah Santa Runs series. Runners follow a loop around Salem Pond, where Christmas lights float on the water, and the route includes a bridge crossing. Everyone gets a Santa suit to wear, and the aid stations serve milk and cookies with volunteers dressed as elves.
