Guelph Santa Parade Run 2026
The event takes place on December 5, 2026, in downtown Guelph, Ontario. Participants run three kilometres along the Santa Parade route immediately before the Guelph Community Santa Parade passes. The route is currently listed as tentative pending city updates related to construction.
A Santa suit is provided and included with registration. Proceeds support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph. Registration is limited and pricing varies by date of registration.
There are three opportunities to pick up the Santa suit: one on the evening before the event and two on the event day, including a pickup at the start area on the trail behind the River Run Centre. After the run, the community Santa Parade follows the same course; participants may remain to watch the parade.
The event materials note volunteer needs for course marshals and lead bikes and include photos from previous years. Relevant logistical details and any route updates are subject to organizer and city confirmation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
