About the Run Santa Run 5K - Medina
The race starts and finishes at Medina Brewing Company, so there is a natural gathering place before and after. Costumes are a big part of the morning, with Santa hats, ugly sweaters, and elf gear common on the course. Santa Claus is present at the event, which pulls in families alongside solo runners.
Packet pickup runs the day before at a local running store, with an option to pick up at the brewery on race morning before the start. Both options give you time to get settled before things get moving.
