About the Run Santa Run - Sebastian
The course runs through Riverview Park, a waterfront setting that gives the race a scenic, open feel. Runners tend to show up in holiday costume, Santa hats and ugly sweaters being the norm rather than the exception, so the start line has a certain chaotic warmth to it. Santa is on hand at the event, which sets the tone for the whole morning.
Packet pickup the day before is at the Sebastian Municipal Yacht Club, with race-morning pickup available at Riverview Park before the start. After finishing, runners head to Mulligan's Beach and Sports Bar nearby for a post-race drink and breakfast, which makes the hangout after the race as much a part of the morning as the run itself.
