About the Event

The Winner's Circle Running Club hosts the 2025 Santa's Toy Trot on Sunday 12/14/2025 beginning at 10:00 A.M..  Participants have the option to run 2,4 or 6 miles.  The race starts at the Sweetsir School in Merrimac, MA. Participants run a 2-mile loop that starts and finishes at the school.  The two mile loop allows runners to decide whether or not they want to stop or keep on going to complete 4 or 6 miles.  Strategy is key!!!  The run is chipped timed with Male/Female overall awards in each distance followed by age group awards (10 year age group). Starting at age 60, age groups are 5 year age groups until 90+!!!, and prizes will be awarded two deep. Prior to the actual race children, 10 and under, are welcome to participate in a fun run around the elementary school led by a Winner's Circle Running Club Member, free of charge.  A portion of the proceeds supports the Merrimac Holiday Helper Program, a program that supports Merrimac Families through the holidays.  Registration fee is $35.00 with a toy; $40 with no toy; and $45 on race day.  70+ just bring a toy though you must complete a registration application.  A giveaway (yet to be determined) will be provided to the first 200 Registrants!!!
