Santa Scurry 5K - Keller, TX.

Santa Scurry 5K takes place in Keller, Texas, on Friday, December 4, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 7:30 p.m. Runners are invited to turn out in festive outfits, and the race is scheduled alongside the Keller Hollydays celebration, so the evening also includes the Christmas tree lighting, a lighted parade, and fireworks. Every participant receives a medal that doubles as a Christmas ornament.

This is a road 5K built around the atmosphere more than the clock, which makes it a good pick for families, first-timers, and anyone who would rather run in a Santa suit than chase a personal best. That said, 3.1 miles on pavement is short enough to race if you feel like it. A month of consistent running, three sessions a week with one faster effort, is plenty of preparation. With a 7:30 p.m. start, save the bigger meal for after the finish and keep the afternoon light.
