Narmc Santa Shuffle Fun Run
About this race
WE'RE BACK FOR OUR 8TH YEAR!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 5, as we kick off the Christmas season with the 8th Annual NARMC Santa Shuffle Fun Run/Walk!
Embrace the joy of giving, make lasting memories, and start a new holiday tradition with your family and friends!
We'll begin at North Arkansas Regional Medical Center (NARMC), where you'll walk or jog alongside Santa and Mrs. Claus down Harrison's Main Street and around the historic downtown square, all while being serenaded by Christmas music and cheered on by Santa's helpers!
After you cross the finish line, Santa's elves will welcome you with a limited-edition Santa Shuffle medal. Then head over to Santa's Sweet Shop for hot cocoa and cookies!
And the best part? Your participation helps make Christmas brighter for local children.
GIVE A TOY. GET A SANTA SUIT. GIVE BACK.
Simply bring a new, unwrapped toy for a child from birth through 12th grade, and you'll receive a FREE Santa Suit, complete with coat, pants, hat, belt and beard, to wear during the Santa Shuffle!
Please do not wrap your toy. Keeping toys unwrapped helps our volunteers efficiently sort and distribute donations.
All donated toys will be distributed to children in need throughout NARMC's five-county service area. When you register, you're not just joining a fun event; you're helping put a Christmas gift into the hands of a local child.
If you're able, bring an extra toy! There are plenty of needs, and every additional gift can help make a child's Christmas a little brighter.
In 2025, more than 500 people participated in the Santa Shuffle and donated more than 700 toys. Those gifts were distributed through 8 local organizations serving children across 13 campuses in NARMC's five-county service area!
Register today and help make a child's Christmas special!
