Santa Runs Griffith Park
The Santa Runs Griffith Park is an annual running event held in the heart of Los Angeles. The 2026 edition marks the fifth year of this event, which takes place within the grounds of the historic Griffith Park. Participants navigate through the park's natural landscape alongside hundreds of other runners dressed in holiday-themed attire.
The event offers several course options catering to different preferences and age groups:
- 10K: A longer distance designed for those seeking a more rigorous experience.
- 5K: A fast and flat course that provides views of the surrounding park scenery.
- Kids Dash: A short distance race specifically for younger participants.
The Kids Dash is divided by age group, with children aged 6 and under running approximately 200m, while those aged 7 to 10 complete a distance of approximately 400m. The 5K and 10K courses utilize the paths around the park, offering a trek through one of the city's most well-known outdoor spaces.
Registration fees vary by distance, and the event gathers a community of runners for a morning of activity in a historic Los Angeles setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
