About the Elf Dash
The Elf Dash runs through downtown Venice, timed to finish just before the Venice Holiday Parade rolls through. The route is short, the dress code is chaos, and the whole thing is more of a costumed scramble than a race. Hot cocoa and cookies wait at the finish, along with a spot to watch the parade.
Packet pickup is the evening before at a local apparel shop on Cypress Avenue. Your bib is required to enter the course, and a special parking area near the Venice Community Center requires both your pass and your bib at the entrance, so pick up your packet beforehand if you can.
