About this race

The Santa Launch will be a 3’ish Mile Fun Run/Walk
(not a race) where everyone can be Santa or one of his elves for the night. 
We will run/walk all dressed in our Santa suits and holiday bling spreading cheer as we venture thru several locations in downtown Sarasota.

You can purchase a santa suit for $10 with your registration or come in your own festive attire!


We will start to gather around 5pm but then will LAUNCH at 6pm to spread cheer.
After the event, all are welcome back to Fleet Feet for additional Holiday Cheer and Festive Fun.
