It's the MERRIEST race in Northern California! 🎅

The Stockton Santa Dash is an annual 5K and 10K run/walk event that takes place at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. Runners and walkers all get dressed up as St. Nick for a holly-jolly closed-course run that brings hundreds of people to the scenic waterfront of the 209 for hot chocolate, candy canes, music, a toy drive, a good time, and of course a good time!
All participants will have the option to win prizes as well as make a difference in their community by bringing a toy or canned food to add to our Christmas tree. 🎄

This marks the 5th Annual Santa Dash and the most festive event happening in Stockton!

FAQs:

Who benefits from this event?

The Midsole Project is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that donates shoes to young runners. At this event, they also help provide toys to every little runner!

What if it rains? 🌧️

It has happened! Our very first Santa Dash was in the rain! We plan these events months in advance, so no one knows what the weather will bring until days before! If it happens, the run continues so long as it is safe to do so! No cancellations!

Can I bring my dog?

Of course! Furry friends are welcome! They must be leashed and restrained, by the laws of California. If we have medals left over, stop by and ask for one if your companion joined you on the race!
