Utah Santa Run- Ogden

Utah Santa Run- Ogden is held in Ogden, Utah, on Saturday, November 28, 2026, with a single 5K starting at 4:30 p.m. The race runs through historic downtown Ogden along Washington Boulevard, with participants in Santa suits, and it coincides with the Ogden Holiday Light Parade. Aid stations serve milk and cookies, and there is music along the course.

A late-afternoon start on a city street means road shoes and a warm layer, since November light fades early in northern Utah and the temperature drops with it. This is a costume race rather than a time trial, and the Santa suit over your running clothes will keep you warmer than you expect, so dress lighter underneath than instinct suggests. No particular training is required: if you can walk or jog 3.1 miles you can take part, and the parade atmosphere makes the pace beside the point.
