Wild Santa Run - 5k Fun Run

Saturday, December 12, 2026Duluth, MN0.25 Miles – 5K

Get into the holiday spirit with the Wild Santa Run, a festive 5K that turns the course into a sea of red suits. Every 5K participant receives a five-piece Santa suit to wear during the race, followed by a refreshing cider and an all-ages holiday party. Younger runners can join the fun in the 1/4 mile Reindeer Run, which includes a pair of antlers for every child. The event takes place at Wild State Cider, where you can enjoy your post-race drinks by the bonfires or inside the taproom. With live holiday music and a lively atmosphere, this is a perfect way to celebrate the season. Be sure to dress warmly and plan for street parking, as the venue lot will be closed to racers.
