Registration Is Open For Downtown In December's Annual Santa Run

Oklahoma City is celebrating Downtown in December with a variety of events and holiday attractions. 

One of the events is the 3rd annual Saints Santa Run on December 2. 

The run is a festive and family-friendly winter race that includes a 5K Run/Walk Race, a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk, and a free 50-yard Kids’ Dash.

Participants in the 5K run/walk or 1-mile Fun Run will receive a commemorative Saints Santa Run t-shirt and finisher medal. 

There will be free activities before and after the race, including a pre-race warm-up with the OKC Ballet, face painting, balloon art, complimentary snacks and drinks, and festive music.

Runners are encouraged to get creative and dress up like Santa or in their most festive holiday attire for a chance to win cash prizes in the costume contest following the 5K. Cash prizes will also be awarded to the top overall male, female, and non-binary 5K race winners.
