Santa's Dash for Ca$h : Denver
The Santa's Dash for Ca$h takes place on Saturday, December 19, 2026, in Denver, Colorado, at Utica Street and West 17th Avenue on the south side of Sloan Lake Park. The event features a chip-timed 5k run; performance-based awards are given for that distance.
Every finisher receives a prize envelope at the finish line. Some envelopes contain cash and at least one envelope includes $100. 5k participants also receive an event tee shirt and either a Santa hat or a headband. RaceJoy GPS tracking and results reporting are provided to participants, and chip time results are available.
The event includes a Santa sighting for photos. Organizers partner with Bethany Foster Services; in-kind donations for Bethany enter donors into a race day raffle. Current requested items include new winter coats, hats, mittens, and Target gift cards for foster families. The event also partners with Sneakers4Funds to collect gently used or new athletic shoes at Central Park or during packet pick up or race day, with proceeds benefiting Growing Home.
The race is listed as an official qualifier for BolderBoulder. The description above summarizes available details about location, timing method, participant benefits, prize envelopes, and charity partnerships. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
