Get ready for a festive and fun-filled day at the 5th Annual North Canaan Santa's Chase 5K Road Race, happening on Saturday, December 13, 2025, in the charming town of Canaan, located in the scenic Northwest Hills of Connecticut. This exciting event features a USATF certified 5K course, perfect for runners of all levels. The race kicks off at 10:00 AM from the downtown elementary school on Pease Street, taking participants on a fairly flat out-and-back route along West Main Street, all the way to the state line.

Join fellow runners and the community in celebrating the holiday spirit! With race registration, start, finish, and award ceremonies all taking place in front of the elementary school, it's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a day of exercise and camaraderie. Awards will be presented around 11:15 AM, and don't forget, this race is the third in the Canaan series, where participants can compete for cash prizes based on their aggregate times across all three events: Mother's Day 5K, Conquer the Valley 5M, and Santa's Chase 5K. Mark your calendars and prepare for a jolly good time! For more information, visit
