About the Santa Run (Fleet Feet Lincoln 2026)
The route starts at the Railyard and winds through downtown streets and trails, passing through Haymarket Park before ending at the entrance to a winter market. It is untimed, and the whole point is the costume: everyone runs or walks dressed as Santa Claus. All paces are welcome, and the finish drops you right into a holiday market.
Packet pickup runs the day before at Fleet Feet Lincoln, with day-of pickup also available at the Railyard before the start. After the run, there is hot cocoa and a chance to get photos with Santa. Free parking is available in the downtown parking garages.
