Utah Santa Run in Salem
The Utah Santa Run - Utah County takes place in Salem, Utah, near the city of Payson. This event marks the final installment in the Utah Santa Run series for the season. Participants complete a looped course that circles Salem Pond, a location notable for its holiday light display featuring lights floating on the water.
The course layout includes a section where runners cross a bridge over the pond. Along the route, participants find aid stations that serve milk and cookies instead of standard race fare. These stations are managed by volunteers dressed as elves.
Available distances for the event include:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1.55 Mile Run
- 5K Virtual
Every runner receives a full Santa suit to wear during the race. Options are available for participants to select standard registration or a discounted rate that provides a suit from an unpackaged bin. Registration for the in-person races closes in early September, while the virtual and discounted options remain open until the day of the event in December.
