2025 San Diego Santa Run

Pacific Beach, San Diego, California | Saturday, December 13, 2025 | 5K, Kids 1 Mile, Dog 1 Mile

Picture this: thousands of Santas filling Garnet Ave, holiday music in the air, and a sea of red racing toward a December to remember. Whether you're running for a PR or just for the peppermint vibes, there's a race (and a costume) for everyone.

Choose your jolly journey:
- 5K Run/Walk – Two start times to fit your vibe: 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM
- Santa's Elves Mile (Kids Run) – A delightful one-mile dash for children 12 and under at 11:30 AM
- Santa's Little Helper Mile (Dog Run) – A festive mile for pups and their people at 12:00 PM
- After the races, the holiday magic keeps rolling with the Pacific Beach Holiday Parade at 1:00 PM—stick around to keep the celebrations going!

Run fast, run festive, or just jingle all the way—this is one holiday party you won't want to miss.
