The Krew Runners Santa Con Run
The event is a community holiday run held at Northridge Mall in Salinas, California with the start and finish in the Hobby Lobby parking area. It is the third annual Santa Con Run and includes multiple race distances and a children’s mile.
The event has a fundraising purpose with a stated goal of raising $10,000 to purchase running shoes for local students who lack proper footwear. Race registration and donations contribute toward that goal. Race registrations include a bib, a finisher medal, a race T-shirt, post-race refreshments, and access to event music, photo opportunities, and giveaways. Medals are handed to all finishers. Awards will be given to the first, second, and third overall finishers for men and women.
The event is open to all ages; participants under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their waiver. All participants must complete a waiver. Strollers are permitted but must remain toward the back of the course for safety. Dogs are not allowed except for service animals. Entry fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
Registration opens on September 29, 2026. Early pricing is offered through October 31, 2026, after which entry fees increase. Bib pick-up is scheduled in the days before the event and on race morning. Volunteer shifts and race-day duties are organized for community members and students.
