About the Santa Run
The Santa Run follows the Canyon Rim Trail in Twin Falls, a route that runs along the canyon edge. Participants are encouraged to dress in Christmas attire, and the event collects toys for Toys for Tots. Timing is handled through a barcode-based park run system, so it draws a mix of people out for the experience rather than the clock.
Hot chocolate and donuts are at the finish, courtesy of a local trails organization. There are no entry fees, though beanies are available for purchase, with proceeds supporting trail maintenance. Bringing a toy donation is part of the tradition here.
