About the race
The Santa Shuffle Montreal is a fundraising fun run and walk held at Frédéric-Back Park in Montréal to support The Salvation Army and the local women’s shelter L’Abri d’espoir. The event offers a single registration option that covers both the running and walking distances.
Registration benefits include a personalized race bib and a one-of-a-kind finisher’s medal that also serves as a Christmas tree ornament. The simplified 2026 registration option is listed as Individual – 5K Fun Run / 1K Elf Walk and the published fee for that option is CA$61.70 (CA$55.00 plus Race Roster processing fees). The published registration window runs from May 30 to December 4.
Fundraising is part of the event structure. Participants who fundraise can earn limited-edition items at set thresholds: a buff/neck gaiter for CA$50 raised, a toque for CA$150 raised (CA$100 for youth), and a limited hoodie for early fundraisers who reach CA$500 among the first 500 fundraisers nationally. Donors receive an online donation confirmation and The Salvation Army issues official tax receipts for donations over CA$20.
