The Santa Stampede will be a 3’ish Mile Fun Run/Walk (not a race) where everyone, young or old, can be Santa Claus for the day!
We will run/walk all dressed in our Santa suits spreading cheer around the neighborhood.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped fleece blanket to donate to The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester
And after the Stampede, all Santas are welcome back to Fleet Feet @ The Armory for additional Holiday Cheer and Festive Fun, plus meet the team at The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester
The Santa Stampede is suitable for all ages and all fitness levels!
Remember, it’s not a race, it is a fun, festive-filled relaxed run/walk!
