About the Asbury Park Santa Run
The course runs through the streets of Asbury Park in Santa suits, everyone in red from start to finish. It is a road race on a closed course, flat through a beach town, and the crowd along the route is there for the spectacle as much as the running. The finish line opens into a choice of after parties at several of the city's music venues.
Suit and bib pickup happens the evening before at a location announced closer to the date. The after parties are for adults, and each venue has its own lineup, so you can move between them after you finish.
