About the Event

The Mattapoisett Santa Stampede 5K for MS will host hundreds of “Santas” wearing complimentary 5 piece Santa suits, from the red coat and hat, right down to the beard! In a 3.1 mile loop around scenic Ned's Point Lighthouse and along the picturesque harbor of Mattapoisett. This festive run/walk is sure to bring out the holiday spirit for all participants and spectators. The event will take place at 9:00am on Saturday December 5th, beginning and ending at the Mattapoisett Town Wharf. Proceeds will be donated to support Multiple Sclerosis foundations for research and support of individuals living with MS. This year’s race date will mark the 2 year anniversary of our race director being diagnosed with MS.

There are two options for Santa Suit sizing.

Option 1: Adult (one size fits all)

Option 2: Youth (Suggested for children 12 and under and less than 5 feet tall)

These will be provided to the first 500 adult (one size fits all) registrations, and the first 200 youth (suggested for under 5 feet) registrations. It is important you select the proper Santa suit option size at checkout! This cannot be changed once you have registered.

*This registration page will be updated once the above numbers are met. As of now, there are still Santa Suits available to all.

Medals will be awarded to the top 3 overall male and female adult finishers along with the top 3 male and female youth finishers.
