Santa's Fun Run : Le Mars
Santa's Fun Run is a community road event held in downtown Le Mars with races organized around the Olson Cultural Event Center. The event includes a 5K and a Kid's Dash of 0.5 miles. The 5K is chip timed and follows an out-and-back course that passes through residential neighborhoods and onto the local recreation trail. The Kid's Dash is an out-and-back route of 0.5 miles and is not chip timed.
Packet pickup is handled at the KC Hall on race morning; day-of registration is accepted but holiday swag is not guaranteed. Streets along the course will remain open; volunteers will assist with directing traffic. Earbuds and headphones are not recommended and are used at each participant's risk. Young children must run with a responsible adult in the 5K. Dogs are not permitted on the course. No refunds are given for weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Awards are presented on the stage at the Olson Cultural Event Center, weather permitting. Awards include top three overall males and females for both the 5K and the Kid's Dash, certificates for the top three finishers in each age group, and two prizes for Best Dressed. The race is part of the Christmas in Hometown Le Mars activities and encourages festive attire such as Santa suits, holiday sweaters, or festive socks.
