Santa's Sleigh 5K & Kids 1K 2026

Santa's Sleigh 5K & Kids 1K is a December holiday run in Friendswood, Texas, held at DICK'S House of Sport at Baybrook Mall. The main event is a chip-timed 5K with a two-hour limit, and the shorter 1K gives kids their own race before the 5K begins. The 5K follows an out-and-back course starting and finishing at DICK'S House of Sport, circling part of the Baybrook Mall perimeter. The atmosphere is festive: runners are encouraged to wear Santa, elf, or holiday-themed shirts, pants, and socks. Following the race, winners are announced at a post-race party, with opportunities for photos with Santa and/or his sleigh.
