Santa Shuffle 5K & 1 Mile - Fayetteville

The event is a festive, non-competitive, non-timed run and walk held along the Cape Fear River Trail, a paved trail in Fayetteville, NC. The meeting location is listed at 445 Treetop Drive. The event offers both an in-person and a virtual participation option.

Distances:

  • 5K
  • 1 mile walk/run/shuffle

Registration is the same for both distance options and the stated registration fee is $45. The course will include marked turnaround points for both the 1-mile and 5K routes. Participants may use strollers. Pets are welcome and participants are encouraged to dress pets for the occasion.

Packet and Santa suit distribution is available in-store at Fleet Feet Fayetteville on December 10 and December 11. There will also be last-minute packet pick up near the start on race day. For virtual participants, non-local entries receive the Santa suit (if applicable), bib, and medal by shipment; local participants may pick those items up at Fleet Feet Fayetteville.

The format emphasizes a fun, seasonal atmosphere with a mix of runners, walkers, and pet participants rather than competitive timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
