Guelph Santa Parade Run 2026
The event takes place in downtown Guelph on Saturday, December 5, 2026 along the Santa Parade route. It is a 3 kilometre run held immediately before the Guelph Community Santa Parade. The route is listed as tentative due to city construction.
All participants wear a Santa suit that is included with registration. There are three opportunities and locations to pick up the suit, including The Running Works and the start area behind the River Run Centre.
Proceeds from the event support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph. Registration is required and spots are limited. Fee levels vary by registration period.
Organizers request volunteers to act as course marshals and to fill two lead-bike positions. After the run the community Santa Parade follows the same course and participants are encouraged to stay for the parade. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
