Anacortes Santa Run

The Anacortes Santa Run is a seasonal running event in Anacortes, Washington on December 12, 2026. Every participant receives a full Santa suit to wear during the event. The main course is a flat 5k loop around Cap Sante Marina.

The event program includes a group start with Christmas carols, refreshments such as cookies, coffee, and hot cocoa, timed results, and a finishers medal. Awards include one gallon of eggnog for the first male and first female across the finish line. There is an additional informal competition called Beat the Elves in which two elves start after the main field; elves who beat Santas receive a sticker.

Pick up for bibs and Santa suits is scheduled on days before the race at the Anacortes Rockfish Grill beer garden at 320 Commercial Ave in Anacortes. Race day pick up is available for out of area participants for a fee. A family discount applies when three or more runners register on the same account and reduces the entry by five dollars per runner. Registration proceeds support the Anacortes High School Cross Country Team.
