About the Run Santa Run 5K - Louisville
The course leaves from the high school and heads out through residential streets before transitioning onto country roads, then returns the same way. It is a straightforward out-and-back with no surprises, and the holiday costume element means the field looks a little different than most winter races.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local brewery, which doubles as a low-pressure way to sort things out before race morning. Race-day pickup and registration open inside the high school before the start. Age group awards go deep across the field, and gift cards go to the top overall finishers.
