About the Run Santa Run 5K/10K
The race starts at Jarvis Plaza, right in the heart of Laredo's downtown, on Christmas Eve. The streets carry a different feel than a typical race day, and running through that historic district gives the course a sense of place a park loop does not. The Santa hats spread through the crowd make the scene easy to read from a distance.
Packet pickup runs the evening before race day, with onsite registration available that same evening and again on race morning before the start. The downtown start means street parking in the historic district is the practical option.
