Chasing Santa 5K - Colorado Springs
Chasing Santa 5K and the Cycling Santa Toy Drive take place in Colorado Springs on Saturday, December 05, 2026, at 5725 Mark Dabling Blvd. The event offers running and cycling options and supports a local toy distribution program.
Registration fees vary by event, with some youth and toddler entries free and most paid entries listed at $25 or $20. Each paid registration includes a complete Santa suit consisting of pants, jacket, belt, hat, and a beard. Toddlers age four and under are free with an adult registration and also receive a complete Santa suit.
Distances offered include:
- Running: 5K for adults and kids 15 and under
- Cycling: 6 miles, 10 miles, 21 miles
The event partners with Christmas Unlimited, whose toy distribution program serves children ages 12 and under in El Paso County and provides a store-like setting for parents to select gifts. A local bicycle resort will host a longer cycling route turnaround where coffee and fresh waffles are provided before the return ride.
Early Santa suit pick up is available Friday, December 4 (11:00 am to 6:00 pm) and Saturday, December 5 (opens at 8:00 am) at 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd. Participants are asked to bring unwrapped toys for donation to the toy drive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
