Santa Run 915

Santa Run 915 takes place in El Paso, Texas, on December 12, 2026. Two options are on offer: the Santa 5K Run (3.1 miles) at 8:00 AM, and Santa's Naughty List Walk, a non-competitive walking option that sets off later, at 9:30 AM. The staggered starts mean runners and walkers get the course at their own pace.

This is a road 5K, so the effort is straightforward: settle into a pace you can hold from the first quarter mile, then push the last half mile if you have anything left. Runners chasing a personal best should come in off a month of regular running with one weekly session at threshold or 5K pace, plus a short warm-up jog before the start. Anyone doing the walk can simply show up and enjoy the morning; there is no clock to worry about and the later start makes for an easier wake-up.
