About the Las Vegas Great Santa Run
The course starts and finishes at Opportunity Village's Magical Forest on Oakey Boulevard, a charitable campus that serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Everyone runs in a Santa suit, either the traditional red or a blue version supporting the organization, so the field looks about as uniform as it gets. Strollers, wheelchairs, and dogs are all welcome.
Packet pickup runs on the few days before the race at the same campus, with race-day pickup available before the start. After you finish, the Magical Forest opens early for participants, and there is live music and food in the festival area outside.
