Santa Runs Tacoma

Santa Runs Tacoma is a race day taking place on 12/12/2026 in downtown Tacoma, Washington. The event features multiple running races that follow waterfront and local park routes and include both longer and short options for different ages.

The main course for the Donner & Blitzen half marathon is an out-and-back route that starts and finishes downtown, runs along the waterfront and the Ruston Way Path, passes Point Ruston Waterwalk and Dune Peninsula Park, and includes rolling hills and a crossing of the Wilson Way Bridge before returning to the downtown finish.

The Scrooge 10K follows an out-and-back course along the same waterfront corridor used by the half marathon. The Frosty 5K is a 3.1 mile event along the waterfront route and is offered for runners and walkers. Tiny Tim Kids 1k is a 1 kilometer out-and-back along the 5K route; parents are welcome to run with their children and young participants receive a custom Tiny Tim 1k finisher ribbon.

All finishers receive a Santa Runs Tacoma medal.
