Haile Santa Dash - Gainesville

The Haile Santa Dash is a charity 5K fun run held at Haile Village in Gainesville, Florida, with the course routed on sidewalks around the village and a few side streets to cross with care. The event raises funds for Mary's Meals and Give Kids the World.

All participants wear full Santa suits for the duration of the event; suits are distributed and waiver forms are completed prior to the event. Organizers advise wearing light running or exercise clothing, such as shorts and a T-shirt, beneath the Santa suit because the suit can become warm. Participants who are not prepared to wear the complete suit for the entire event are asked not to enter.

The event permits running, walking, hopping, skipping, jumping, and crawling. Skateboards, rollerskates, rollerblades, scooters, bicycles, and strollers are not permitted on the course. Wheelchair users are welcome to take part. Registration is listed under the Running 5K individual age group category with an entry fee of USD 35. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
