About the Fourth Annual Santa Stampede Fun Run & Walk
This is an untimed holiday group run and walk through New Smyrna Beach, with several route options ranging from a short loop to a longer one. Everyone goes out together in Santa suits on open roads and sidewalks, so lights and reflective gear are expected since the evening goes dark. The proceeds benefit a local school literacy program.
The evening starts at Fleet Feet on Canal Street, where you pick up your Santa suit before the group heads out. Afterward, everyone walks over to a local brewery for post-run drinks. Packet pickup and suit distribution happen at the start, so there is nothing to collect beforehand.
