The Santa Run Hess
The Santa Run Hess takes place on November 21, 2026 at radius on Hess, Hess Street South, Hamilton, ON. The event is organized by VR Pro Inc and is presented as an all-Santa race where participants are required to wear a Santa suit.
The race is designated as an all-Santa event, so a Santa suit is required for participation. Registration offers options that include a Santa suit or exclude it for participants who already own one. Suits provided are described as velour suits with a beard. Chipped timing is included for entries that specify timed results.
Distances offered include:
- 5 km in-person and virtual option
- 1 km in-person
Race kit pickup is scheduled at the Stoney Creek Running Room store on November 19 and 20, with additional pickup on race day at Radius on Hess. Virtual participants may track runs with the ASICS Runkeeper app or submit results manually on the event results page. Participants who post virtual results receive a virtual finisher certificate.
If the in-person event is cancelled, registrants will be switched to the virtual race and no refunds will be issued. The event lists sponsors and partners and provides VR Pro Inc as the event contact. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
