Organiser's Description

Get ready to jingle your bells and scare your pumpkins off at the Hallo-Thanks-Mas run! It's a race like no other, where we celebrate three holidays in one.
You'll start by donning your spookiest Halloween costumes and running through spooky beach path of Santa Monica. Then, as you hit the halfway mark, it's time to switch gears and get into the spirit of Thanksgiving, with turkey-themed water station and pumpkin pie power snacks to keep you fueled.
But the fun doesn't stop there - as you near the finish line, you'll be greeted by a winter wonderland of Christmas music and festive decor, all around you. And of course, there will be plenty of candy corn and candy canes to go around. We would never forget the pumpkin spice treats.ย 
It's a race that truly has it all - spooky scares, delicious treats, and heartwarming holiday cheer. So come join us for the Hallo-Thanks-Mas run - the race where you can celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all in one fell swoop. Who says you can't have your candy corn and eat it too?

About our courses:
ย Our courses are not closed, which means that there are often other runners, walkers, and others enjoying the day along with you. Safety is must and all runners must stay on the pedestrian side of the beach path. The course never goes off the beach path. Courses are well marked with two water stations and restrooms along the way. This is an out and back course meaning you will begin and finish in the same location.ย

5k will run 1 out and back loop
