Run Santa Run 5K - Perrysburg

Run Santa Run 5K - Perrysburg is scheduled for December 20, 2026, in Perrysburg, Ohio, with the 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m. Being a single-distance event, it keeps the morning simple, and the run/walk format means the field will hold everyone from runners racing the clock to families covering the distance at a conversational pace.

A 5K in late December is a good way to hold your training together through a month when routines usually fall apart. Sign up, keep three or four runs a week on the calendar, and use the race itself as the hard effort. If you want a time, run the opening half mile slightly slower than goal pace and spend the difference over the last mile, where a 5K is actually won or lost.
