Event Description

Each year we’ve tried to make Santas On The Run bigger and better. With 2020 being the 5th Annual Santas On The Run, we had BIG plans for a BIG BASH.
Unfortunately the consequences of the Pandemic have limited what we can and cannot do. While event will go on live, our absolute primary goal is to keep everyone SAFE.
One of the major changes is we’ve had to move the venue to Hall High School and the event will be 100% outdoor. In addition for safety of our participants, we also have to eliminate the “goodie stops” on the race course. 
The real bummer is no awards ceremony/after party (there will be no awards ceremonies or age group awards). As with most live race events that have happened since the Pandemic, we’ve pretty much had to make this event a come, pick up your swag, support the Food Pantry with non-perishable donations via the raffle, run, collect your prizes and go home. 
We hope everyone will keep in mind the spirit of the event, and all profits from the race go directly to the Hall Township Food Pantry which services 300-500 family’s a month. Last year the participants of this event donated 1,428lbs of non-perishables, and raised almost $3,000. (which the Pantry uses to purchase food for its patrons).
We hope to see there.
Merry Christmas
