2025 - New Canaan Santa Run
2025 distances
Running
The New Canaan Santa 5K Run
ONLY the 5K participants are eligible for awards. You can run or walk it at your leisure/intensity! The 5k is computer timed. The course is very accurately measured and very well marked with signs, cones, flour arrows and volunteers. This year's 5k course will be run in the opposite direction than in the past. SAME paths, no worries!
Santa Dash - Kids 8 & Under
Santa Dashers will run along with Santa on the inner driveway loop of the Waveny Mansion. EIGHT years old and younger ONLY. Parents/guardians can accompany the little tykes to help avoid drama from either party!
Walking
The Santa 1 Mile Walk
The 1 Mile "Walkers" will start just behind the 5k runners. The 1 mile loop will be clearly marked to differentiate the it from the 5k course. There will be signs and volunteers to help. One mile participants are NOT timed and NOT eligible for awards.
Race date Weather
