About the Event

Grab your friends and family for the St. Charles Regional Chamber's 15th Annual Santa's North Pole Dash! This year's theme is Cowboy Santa. Break out those Jingle Horses and dust off the Cowboy Hats, we're going to have a boot-scootin' good time!

Santa's North Pole Dash features timed 5K and 1-Mile courses that are fun for serious runners and leisurely walkers alike. Both courses start and finish along the riverside of Historic St. Charles near the Boathouse. After the race, stay for the awards and festivities. Get your photo taken in our life-size snow globe, eat a donut or two, and congratulate the winners of each age group. Then, enjoy the holiday traditions that downtown St. Charles has to offer.

The first 1500 to register will be guaranteed a themed hat and finisher medal. All participants will receive a themed runner's shirt. Themed shirts will be available in a guaranteed size through October 31st. After this date, shirt sizes will be available on a first-come first-serve basis.

This is a Rain or Shine Event. Please plan accordingly.
