Santa Run 8K/5K & Snowman Dash
The Santa Run 8K/5K & Snowman Dash is a holiday-themed running event held in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event features multiple race options and a costumed character theme. Participants choose a character and receive a corresponding shirt and themed headwear while supplies last.

- 8K (character choice and timing provided)
- 5K (character choice and timing provided)

- Virtual 8K or 5K options
Shirts for 8K and 5K participants are unisex long sleeve garments ordered by registration size and character choice.

Hats, elf hats, reindeer antlers, and snowman beanies are provided for 8K and 5K participants subject to availability. Medals are guaranteed for 8K and 5K finishers only; medals are not provided for Snowman Dash participants.
Packet pick up is available the day before at Run For Your Life Midtown and on race day at the event location. Timing for the 8K and 5K is handled by Run Events using ChronoTrack systems; Snowman Dash times are visible on the finish line clock. A medical tent will be located at the finish area.
