A Festive Fun Run with St. Nick

12/3/2017

 
What's more fun than running with hundreds of Santas the night before the night before Christmas, and/or on Christmas Eve? I can't think of anything.

If you're on the east coast of Florida this Christmas, check into these one milers in Viera and Vero Beach on December 23 and 24.

In 2016, Viera Pizza hosted the inaugural Run Run Santa Race. It sold out faster than a snowman melts in Florida.

This year the Viera race field expands to 1,000 runners. A second race in Vero Beach joins the festivities in 2017. These events are on track to sell out, so register early.
​

The fast, festive mile is the perfect distance for runners of all ages and fitness. It's a great way to celebrate with family or friends. 

Run in Viera, Vero Beach or Both!

Serious Stuff About Santa Suits

All participants receive a full Santa Claus suit to wear during the race with registration. It includes a short sleeve Santa shirt, matching shorts, hat, belt, and beard. Mens, womens, youth and child sizes are available.

This is an all Santa event. You must wear your suit the entire length of the race.
If you ran last year, you can wear that Santa suit. If you arrive on race day without a Run Run Santa suit, you'll have to buy one (if available) for $20. 

No suit. No race. No exceptions.


PLEASE NOTE: Santa suits don't have individual sizes. Santa suits are big. If you are under 5'4 and 130 pounds, we suggest you order a youth size Santa suit. The child size is best for kids under 40 inches and 50 pounds.

Holiday Carolers Wanted

If you have a group willing to sing as hundreds of Santas run by, contact Brittany at runrunsanta1mile@gmail.com.

​Three groups are needed to sing on Saturday, Dec. 23 in Viera, and another three groups are needed to sing on Sunday, Dec. 24 in Vero Beach.

Your group must have the holiday spirit and be able to sing for 15 to 30 minutes. This is a great gig for a choir or carolers!
