Get ready for a festive and fun-filled day at the 2025 Santa Run 5k in Des Moines, Polk! Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM, when participants of all ages and abilities will come together for a delightful run or walk in their very own Santa suits. This annual event promises a jolly atmosphere as you join fellow runners in celebrating the holiday season while supporting local charities.

Every registrant will not only receive a Santa suit but also a $10 gift certificate to Fleet Feet Des Moines. Plus, $10 of your entry fee will be donated to a charity of your choice, including Girls on the Run, Team Run Free, or Living History Farms. Don’t forget to pick up your race packet on December 11 or 12 from 3:00-6:00 PM, or arrive early on race day for limited pick-up. After crossing the finish line, enjoy delicious hot chocolate and head over to SingleSpeed Brewing Co. for a post-race afterparty, where you can toast to your achievements with $2 off your first drink when you show your race bib or wear your Santa suit. Join us for this unforgettable holiday celebration!
