• $ Savings - only pay one transaction fee for all three events!
• The awe and admiration of your entire community for running 3 5Ks in 8 days!

And the opportunity to participate in the SANTA TRIPLE SLEIGH SCORING CHALLENGE

Participants who register for the Triple Sleigh will also be able to compete for the title of TRIPLE SLEIGH CHAMPION.  We will award the top 3 male and female participants after the South Park race on December 15th.   

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK

• Participants will earn points based on their finish time order at each of the 3 events.
• Scores will be determined solely by chip time and non-participants will not receive scores.
  • NOTE:  This may differ slightly from individual event results. At individual events the top 3 overall male and female results are determined by who crosses the line first. 
• Points will be awarded to the top 15 male and female challenge finishers, based on their chip time.
  • 15 points for first, 14 for second, 13 for third, and so forth down to 1 point for 15th.
• Total points accumulated from all three events will be tallied after the South Park race to determine winners.
• The top 3 male and female challenge participants will receive awards and the top male and female will be crowned Santa Series Champions.

All participants will receive a soft and comfy pair of Run Santa Run fleece pajama pants (2023 pants show below), a Santa hat, a Santa "cinch" backpack, and a custom finishers medal (2024 SWAG images coming soon).

Once again, GCXC is proud to support Amachi Pittsburgh.  Amachi Pittsburgh raises awareness and delivers services to give children a fighting chance in Allegheny County-- when the community is knowledgeable about the challenges that they face, children have the support they need to thrive. This awareness creates policy-level change so that youth are unburdened from a system that has made them more vulnerable to the criminal justice system.

Please help us support Amachi and bring an unwrapped toy for a child aged infant through 18 years old.  These gifts will be distributed to children throughout the county during December and hopefully bring them a sense of support and joy during the holiday season.
