The Santa Dash begins on Cromwell Drive in Greenville's Lynndale Subdivision, offering a neighborhood atmosphere before participants in holiday attire head out.

The race format is straightforward: approximately 5 kilometers for the run and about 1.6 kilometers for the walk. Participants are encouraged to wear festive clothing, making Santa hats and holiday outfits an integral part of the event.
