About the race
The 2026 Santa Shuffle Whitby is a community fundraising event held at the Abilities Centre, 1 Jim Flaherty Street, Whitby, Ontario, in support of The Salvation Army. The event combines a 5K fun run and a 1K Elf Walk under a single registration option labeled "Individual – 5K Fun Run / 1K Elf Walk." Registration includes a personalized race bib and a one-of-a-kind finisher's medal that doubles as a Christmas tree ornament. Fundraising is a central element: The Salvation Army is listed as the beneficiary, with CA$1,943.50 raised toward a CA$15,000 goal (13% raised).
Donors receive online donation confirmations and official tax receipts for donations over CA$20. Fundraisers who reach specific thresholds are eligible for limited-edition items: a buff or neck gaiter for CA$50 raised, a toque for CA$150 raised (youth threshold CA$100), and a limited-edition hoodie for the first 500 participants across Canada who raise CA$500 or more. A simplified pricing structure is shown for 2026 with automatic discounts applied at checkout: youth (18 and under) and seniors (65 and older) receive CA$10 off, groups of 4–9 receive 10% off per registration, and groups of 10 or more receive 15% off per registration. The event lists Running Room as a sponsor. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
