Rotary Santa Run 5K

The Rotary Santa Run in Evansville, Indiana, is an annual festive event featuring a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile family fun walk, and a Santa Elf kids run for children aged 1-9. Held at the Buffalo Trace Eykamp Boy Scout Center, the 5K course is relatively flat, winding through scenic east-side residential neighborhoods, while the 1-mile walk follows a trail and pedestrian bridge. Participants receive a five-piece Santa suit to wear, with prizes for the most spirited costumes.

The kids' run distances vary by age, and all finishers earn medals. The event offers a lively holiday atmosphere with music, carolers, and refreshments, supporting local community projects. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
