About the Event

Embrace your inner festive mischief at the Bad Santa 5K on December 20, 2026, a spirited holiday run through the stunning winter landscapes of St. Louis's Carondelet Park, featuring lakes, woods, and railroad tracks perfect for runners of all levels. This timed event celebrates the season with a custom race tee, a finisher item, free post-race beer, and a lively afterparty at Urban Chestnut's Bierhall, all while supporting a great cause through a coat drive for the Kurt Warner First Things First Foundation. Bring a new or gently used winter coat, hat, or gloves on race day to help keep our neighbors warm, turning your run into an act of community kindness.

Whether you're naughty, nice, or just ready for a holiday adventure, the Bad Santa 5K delivers a perfect blend of fitness, festivity, and local cheer. Register now to secure your spot for a run that proves the best way to celebrate the season is with cold air, warm hearts, and a frosty brew at the finish line.

About St. Louis

Scenic view of

The Gateway City of St. Louis is the epitome of the modern Midwestern metropolis. Missouri's second-largest city is vibrant but laid-back, populous but navigable, historic but still relevant. The city's planners have created an aesthetically beautiful city, with plenty of green space amidst buildings both old and new, framed by the majestic Mississippi and Missouri rivers. And capping it all is the world's tallest man-made monument, the beautiful and iconic Gateway Arch.
