Organiser's Description

GET INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT WITH EXERCISE & FUN!

The Paw Paw Area Rotary Club is hosting its 13th Annual 5K Santa Run and 1Mile Fun Walk on Saturday, December 14, 2024 at Freshwater Community Church. Proceeds from the Run will be used to further the Rotary Clubs efforts both locally & worldwide.



Each participant receives a 5-piece Santa suit that is worn during the Run/Walk (kids under 12 receive a Santa hat). A $100 donation will be made to Rotary International's WASH program on behalf of the men's and the women's 1st place runners. Rotary's WASH initiative works to bring clean water, sanitation and hygiene programs worldwide to communities in need.



The Santa Run is a popular community event enjoyed by participants and spectators alike. Enjoy our pre-run party with live music, treats, and time to visit with friends. To add to the fun, we'll again have a face painter available. The race kicks off at 9 am when you will help fill the town with Christmas cheer as one of the hundreds of Santas running through downtown Paw Paw!
