Santa Runs Tacoma

Santa Runs Tacoma, organized by the Tacoma City Marathon Association, is a downtown Tacoma event offering a Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. All races start and finish in Downtown Tacoma. The Half Marathon features a scenic out-and-back course along the water, connecting to the Ruston Way Path, Point Ruston Waterwalk, and Dune Peninsula Park, with a climb over the Wilson Way Bridge for a view before returning to the waterfront and finish line.

The 10K follows the same waterfront route as an out-and-back. The 5K is family-friendly. All finishers receive a Santa Runs Tacoma medal; race swag includes a festive beanie and shirts for purchase.

Proceeds support the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
