About the Utah Santa Run - Ogden
The course runs along Washington Boulevard in historic downtown Ogden, flat the whole way, out and back with a partial extra loop that drops you at the finish in front of the Ogden Christmas Village. Music plays over the entire route, aid stations appear several times along the way staffed by volunteers dressed as elves, and every runner wears a Santa suit.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a fitness center on Washington Boulevard, with same-day pickup available near the start a couple of hours before the race. The race goes off late afternoon, timed to clear the street before the Holiday Light Parade follows the exact same route. After the parade, there is a tree lighting and fireworks nearby.
