Santa Run 1 mile and 5k

The 4th annual running of the Santa's! 12/14/24

This year we are bigger and better than ever! A 1 mile and 5k! Through historic downtown Middletown.

Come to run dressed as the big guy and stay a while to enjoy the ice rink, restaurants and shopping specials downtown! This year the Santa's will line up at the Gravel Road Brewing Company! Take off from the Brewery and jump on the bike path, before looping back through one of Downtown Middletown's most beautiful and historic neighborhoods on South Main Street!

Every participant will receive a Santa hat, unique keepsake Christmas ornament, and a "Hot Drink" ticket from the Squeaky Wheels coffee Truck for your choice between a hot coco, hot apple cider, or black coffee (cream and sugar available)!

We would love to see all our runners dressed up as Santa, and of course there is a prize for the jolliest looking Santa at the event!
Our fastest Santa's in the 5k, male and female will be awarded!

We knew we couldn't have a bunch of Santa's running around without providing his favorite snack! Therefore to keep all you Santa's fueled properly, our elves have stocked up for a milk and cookie aid station! Located at the turn around for the 1 milers, water will be available also.

Toys For Tots will be there collecting donations of toys or monetary donations! The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

We will have the Squeaky Wheels coffee Truck at the Start/finish line! Every runner will get a "Hot Drink" ticket from the  for your choice between a hot coco, hot apple cider, or black coffee (cream and sugar available)! For our adult Santa's Gravel Road Brewing will have Half off your first beer!
