Santa Suits On The Loose 5K Walk/Jog/Run

Santa Suits On The Loose 5K Walk/Jog/Run is held in Saint Augustine, Florida, on December 12, 2026. There is one format, a 5K walk/jog/run (3.1 miles), starting at 8:00 AM. Participants can wear a Santa suit or an event t-shirt, though the number of Santa suits available is limited, and teams compete for a traveling trophy and bragging rights.

The race supports St. Augustine Youth Services, which works with at-risk young people through coaching, counseling and therapeutic group homes, and raises money to give experiences to children in foster care and non-traditional families during the holidays. Because walking, jogging and running all share the same start, pace expectations are relaxed, which makes this a sensible first 5K or a team outing with coworkers. If you want a time, four weeks of running three or four days a week is enough; a suit will slow you down, but that is rather the point.
