Join us for the 4th Annual, Lily's Lighthouse San Clemente Santa Run! This is a rain or shine event!
In addition to the "Fun Run," we are delighted this year to be including a 5K, with prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd place for Men's (18+), Women's (18+), and Kids (under 18), as well as prizes for best outfit (Men's, Women's and Kids)!!!
Get ready to dash along the iconic scenic beach trail of San Clemente with Santa and his helpers! The race will take place on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, with the starting line at the Pier Bowl in San Clemente (i.e., at the intersection of San Clemente Pier and the beach). The race will go down to San Clemente State Beach along the beach path and then circle back and finish near the Pier Bowl.
After the race, gather your merry elves and join the stroll or catch the trolly to the Awards Ceremony, After Party and Fundraiser at Krazy Kooters for a festive evening filled with fun, food, and community cheer because every registration comes with free admission, dinner, functional mushroom supplements (for the first 200 runners), a Santa Hat and a raffle ticket to win a premium set of premium Audeze Maxwell gaming headphones (retail value of $300).
Schedule:
2:30 p.m.: Santa gathering
3:00 p.m.: Beach Trail Run begins
4:30 p.m.: Run concludes & Santa’s stroll to Krazy Kooters for the Awards Ceremony, After Party and Fundraiser! Event highlights include silent auction (featuring surfboards from San Clement's own T. Patterson and Brophy Surf Art, local breweries, Audeze headphones, and more) and Live Entertainment by BADLUCK BAND & DJ Stevie T, keeping the grooves going into the night!

Learn more about the host city, San Clemente.
San Clemente is a city by the beach in Orange County in Southern California. It is called the "little Spanish village by the sea" because many of the buildings have a rustic and antique Spanish look to them. People from San Clemente pride themselves on the laid-back and closely knit community traditions that are practiced in this small town. Not only does the culture have a great influence on all the people who live there, but anyone who visits is also sure to experience this feeling as well.
