About the Event

Immerse yourself in the joy of the holiday season at the Original Santa Race in Hess Village on Saturday, November 21, 2026. This unique race invites runners to transform into Santas for an unforgettable festive experience. Participants are required to wear a full Santa suit, which can be included with your registration or brought from home if you already have one.
The event promises a vibrant atmosphere as hundreds of runners dressed in red and white take over the streets of Hess Village, creating a lively scene that captures the spirit of Christmas. Whether you choose our provided velour suits complete with lush beards or bring your own festive attire, prepare to join a sea of Santas running through charming winter landscapes.
Every participant will receive timed results thanks to chip timing technology, ensuring an accurate and enjoyable race experience. The highlight of this event is the limited-edition Rudolph & Santa medal – not just any award but one that comes alive with magic: when you open it, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" plays while Rudolph's nose lights up in a charming display.
Join us for an enchanting holiday tradition that combines fitness and fun. The Original All-Santa race is set to be a memorable event filled with laughter, camaraderie, and festive cheer.
Enjoy the unique experience of running as Santa through Hess Village this November!
