About the 2026 Binghamton Santa Run
The course runs through downtown Binghamton, a flat route that works for runners and walkers alike. It has a holiday costume angle, with a contest for the best-dressed, and there is a short kids' run for younger participants alongside the main event.
The post-race area includes holiday treats and a chance to meet other runners. Early bird registration comes bundled with extras, including a photo with Santa, but the package is only available if you register before the early bird deadline.

The 2026 Binghamton Santa Run has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 10, 2026.
