Santa Runs Tacoma

Santa Runs Tacoma is a festive running event held annually in Tacoma, Washington, featuring a Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K race. The half marathon offers a scenic out-and-back course starting in downtown Tacoma, with rolling hills and waterfront views along the Ruston Way Path, including landmarks like Point Ruston Waterwalk, Dune Peninsula Park, and the Wilson Way Bridge. The 10K follows a similar waterfront route, while the 5K is a family-friendly 3.1-mile run/walk.

All races finish downtown or at Pt. Defiance, and participants receive commemorative finisher medals and festive beanies. The event supports the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County, creating a joyful holiday atmosphere for runners of all levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
