Anacortes Santa Run

The Anacortes Santa Run is a festive 5k race held in Anacortes, Washington, featuring a flat and scenic course around Cap Sante Marina. Every participant receives a full Santa suit to wear during the run, creating a joyful visual of Santas running through the town. The event includes a timed 5k and a kids' dash called "Run with Rudolph," which is an 800-yard run for children in third grade and under.

Runners enjoy Christmas carols at the group start, along with cookies, coffee, hot cocoa, and treats. Prizes include a gallon of eggnog for the first male and female finishers, and a fun challenge to "Beat the Elves," who start five minutes later. Proceeds support the Anacortes High School Cross Country Team. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
