Santa Run | Fleet Feet Springfield

The Springfield Santa Run is a December 5K and 1-mile run/walk starting at Fleet Feet Springfield. Every participant receives a five-piece Santa suit to wear during the event. Both distances begin simultaneously in the morning, with a two-hour time limit for each, accommodating walkers and families alongside runners. The event centers on the visual of hundreds of Santas proceeding down the street, with participants of various ages and paces sharing the same holiday atmosphere. Upon finishing, participants receive hot chocolate, marshmallows, and treats. Awards are presented to the top three finishers in each age group for men and women, ranging from 12 and under to 70 and over.
