Run Santa Run 5K Medina: A Festive Christmas Run

Every December, the town comes alive with twinkling lights, carolers, and the smell of hot cocoa in the air—but nothing kicks off the holiday season quite like the Run Santa Run 5K. This festive race is more than just a run—it's a Christmas celebration on the move!

Held on a chilly December morning, the Run Santa Run welcomes runners, walkers, and holiday enthusiasts of all ages. Participants don their best Christmas gear—think Santa hats, elf costumes, reindeer antlers, and even full-on ugly sweaters. Some come to beat their personal best, while others simply come to enjoy the joyful atmosphere and a good time with friends and family.

But the highlight of the event? Santa Claus himself makes an appearance at the finish line! He’s there to greet the runners, hand out medals, and pose for photos

Registration includes custom pajama pants, finisher medal, Santa hat, and swag bag.
