Santas on the Run X 5k

The Santas on the Run X 5K & One Mile Walk is a festive running event held in Spring Valley, Illinois, benefiting the Hall Township Food Pantry. The race features a certified 5K course that is mostly flat with two gentle hills, along with a one-mile walk option. Participants receive a lighted Santa hat, and pre-registrants can choose a hoodie, sweatshirt, or long-sleeve shirt.

The event offers chip timing, age group awards in the form of Christmas ornaments, and holiday-themed goodie stops with cookies, candy, and hot chocolate. Runners are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items for a chance to win prizes, adding a charitable spirit to this fun holiday race.
