2026 Santa Shuffle Langley: Fun Run & Elf Walk

The 2026 Winter Wonderland Fun Run & Elf Walk returns on December 5th in the charming town of Langley, British Columbia. This beloved annual event supports The Salvation Army’s vital work throughout Canada and is set to provide an exhilarating experience for all participants.
Race morning finds runners and walkers gathering at the picturesque Langley Community Park, located off 174 Street and 98 Avenue, just northeast of downtown. As the crisp winter air sets a festive tone, the park comes alive with volunteers setting up tables adorned in holiday decorations and registration booths. The Elf Walk is designed for younger participants to loop back within the park, while adult runners tackle the more challenging 5K distance.
The course offers a mix of firm and slightly soft terrain, perfect for all abilities. Participants start at the main entrance on 174 Street, run through the park’s paths before venturing into nearby scenic neighbourhoods marked clearly by signs. A sense of community is palpable as runners push through light snowfall that adds to the festive spirit.
Weather conditions on December 5th can be quite chilly with temperatures around 4 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 91.8%, making it feel just above freezing. Despite the cold, participants will find firm but slightly soft trail conditions underfoot, ensuring an enjoyable run in the heart of Langley Twp.
