The Santa Claus Classic 10 km is scheduled for November 30, 2025, at Callaway Gardens, Robin Lake Beach, Pine Mountain, GA 31822. The event is organized by TriColumbusGa.

Age groups are separated by gender and include 14-and-under, then five-year increments from 15-19 up to 70+.
Course and logistics
The course runs through the Callaway Gardens "Fantasy in Lights" display and includes themed miles such as marshmallow, chocolate, and candy cane miles. The finish line is on the beach path beneath the pavilion. There will be 5-6 aid stations on course offering water and Cerasport. Parking is available in the Robin Lake Beach parking area. Entrance into the gardens is free for athletes and spectators; spectators may use the drive-through or trolley light experience for an additional charge arranged through Callaway Gardens.
Safety and policies: visibility gear is mandatory (light, glow stick, vest, flashlight, or similar) so runners are visible to others and to slow-moving trolleys and cars that may be on parts of the course. A flashlight is suggested for the final mile. There are no refunds; under extreme circumstances a deferral may be requested with supporting documentation. Race management may alter or cancel the event for hazardous weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
