Santa's North Pole Dash

Santa's North Pole Dash is a running event in Saint Charles, Missouri. The race offers a timed 5K run and a 1-mile walk, for both serious runners and leisurely walkers. Both courses start and finish along Historic St.

Charles riverside near the Boathouse. The 15th annual event features a Cowboy Santa theme, with hats and boots for a holiday atmosphere. After the race, participants can attend awards, pose in a life-size snow globe, and enjoy donuts and downtown holiday traditions.

Themed hats and finisher medals go to the first 1500 registrants, and all participants receive a themed shirt; shirt sizes are guaranteed through October 31, after which sizes are first-come-first-serve. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
