Event details
The Santa Shuffle 5k Fun Run & Walk takes place on December 13, 2025 in Nixon, Texas, with the start and finish at Nixon City Hall. The event is listed as the 2nd Annual Santa Shuffle and uses a 5k (3.1 mile) distance open to community members of all ages.

Paid participants receive a T-shirt and all finishers receive a finisher medal; shirts are guaranteed only for those who register before the designated deadline.
Course and logistics
The course is described as well marked and easy to follow. Holiday-themed attire is encouraged and awards will be given for best individual and group outfits. Water will be available only at the start/finish area. Headphones and earbuds are allowed, with a caution about traffic on the open road course. Parking is available at city hall and along East 2nd Street, and participants are asked not to park near the finish line chute. City hall restrooms will be available. There is no gear check, so participants are advised to keep personal items in a locked vehicle. Proceeds benefit local student and amateur endurance athletes through scholarships, training clinics, race entry fees, and equipment assistance.
