Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie's Red Suit Ramble

Picture dozens of Santas jogging through the streets on a chilly evening—that could be you!

The Red Suit Ramble is back, and it remains our favorite untimed holiday tradition. Your registration includes a full Santa suit, so all you need to bring is your holiday spirit and comfortable shoes. We’ll stroll and jog through Wappingers Falls to see the brightest, most festive holiday lights in town.

Whether you’re walking with family or running with friends, it’s the most fun you’ll have in a red suit all year. We'll meet outside Spins Bowl in Wappingers (parking lot), at 1677 US-9.

SAFETY NOTE: We will be running and walking on open roads with active traffic. Please keep this in mind if you are planning to bring young children. All participants must wear visibility gear (lights, reflective vests, or blinking clips).

NEW THIS YEAR: We’ll be collecting donations for Children's Home of Poughkeepsie at the Red Suit Ramble. The Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie provides a full range of community-based and residential services, offering hope and healing to at-risk children. Everyone who brings a donation item will be entered to win some fun goodies from New Balance, raffled off at the end of the event! Here’s a list of the items we’re collecting:

• Electronics (e.g., disposable cameras, headphones, earbuds, batteries)
• Games (e.g., playing cards, puzzles, board games, travel games)
• Sporting Equipment (e.g., footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseball gloves)
• Room Decor (e.g., picture frames, blankets, desk lamps, posters)
• Art Supplies (e.g., coloring books, craft kits, journals, sketch pads, yarn, paint/pain brushes)
• Clothes (e.g., hats, gloves, socks, slippers, scarves)
• Bath and Body (e.g., lotions, bath organizers, loofahs/body sponges)

All items must be new and unwrapped. No weapons or violent toys. To make a monetary donation to Children's Home of Poughkeepsie, click the "Donate" button at the top of this page. 100% of donations will go to Children's Home of Poughkeepsie!
