Sandy Claus 5k and Mistletoe Fun Run

Sandy Clause 5K & Mistletoe Fun Run
Saturday, December 13th | Jekyll Island, GA

Ditch the snow boots and grab your running shoes—Sandy Clause is coming to town! Join us on the beautiful shores of Jekyll Island for a coastal Christmas celebration like no other. This year’s event will be extra magical as it takes place under the lights on Jekyll Island, adding a twinkling coastal glow to your run. Participants will run/walk past the iconic Jekyll Christmas light installations. Whether you're racing for a PR or strolling with friends, you'll enjoy a sparkling run full of holiday cheer. 

Sandy Claus 5k starts:       6:30am

Mistletoe Fun Run starts:  7:00am

Costumes encouraged—Santa hats, reindeer antlers, ugly sweaters (breathable ones, please), or go full beach elf!

Finish line perks include holiday tunes, coastal treats, and maybe even a visit from Sandy Clause himself—he trades his sleigh for a beach cruiser down here.  Runners will also receive Holiday inspired swag, awards for the overall and age group winners.

Don’t wait for the last-minute gift rush—register early and join us for a holly jolly good time!

We may not have snow, but we’ve got plenty of sand—and we promise, it’s way easier to run in.
