Santa Dash 5k Run & 1 Mile Walk Presented by Fleet Feet Greenville & Orthopaedics East

Santa Dash 5k Run & 1 Mile Walk Presented by Fleet Feet Greenville & Orthopaedics East takes place in Greenville, North Carolina, on December 12, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) and the 1 Mile Walk (1.6 km) both start at 9:00 AM and cover the Lynndale neighborhood. Orthopaedics East & Sports Medicine Center and Fleet Feet Greenville put the event on, and festive dress is encouraged.

Entry fees benefit Riley's Army, which supports families facing pediatric cancer, and the race belongs to a series that also raises money for local nonprofits such as Ainsley's Angels, which works on inclusion in road races, and Building Hope, which runs youth mentoring and leadership programs. Neighborhood streets make this an approachable 5K whether you want a December time trial or a first race, and the mile walk gives family members who would rather not run something to do at the same hour. Four to six weeks of consistent easy running is plenty of preparation.
