The Santa Fun Run and Walk

Dress as Santa, Log a Couple of Miles, and Enjoy a Morning of Holiday Cheer!

Join us Sunday, Dec. 7,  2025, at 10am at Fleet Feet Lincoln for our annual Santa Run!

The Santa Run will be a 2ish mile fun run/walk (not a race!) where everyone–young and old–will hit the trail dressed as Santa Claus. Afterward, all are welcome to get pictures with Santa, sip on hot cocoa, snack on cookies, and enjoy a morning of festive fun.

To register, simply sign up here for free and bring 3 items of nonperishable food on the day of the Santa Run. All food will be donated to the Food Bank of Lincoln, and a list of recommended donation items can be found below.

Those of all ages, paces, and fitness levels are warmly welcome to participate. Note that the Santa Run is an untimed fun run, not a race!

Special thanks to our friends at Spreetail and Vinnie Krikac at State Farm Insurance for sponsoring the Santa Run and making registration free this year!
