Dec 3

This event has taken place. Thank you to those who participated!

Grab your costumes and running shoes, the Saints Santa Run is coming to Midtown on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022! Our family-friendly winter run is bringing all ages, and even pets, to downtown Oklahoma City for a festive 5K and costume contest. It is a great way to stay active and spread cheer during the holiday season!

Participate in the 5K Run/Walk or 1-Mile Fun Run and receive a commemorative Saints Santa Run t-shirt and finisher medal. All are invited to enjoy free activities like face painting and balloon art, complimentary snacks and drinks, holiday music and more at our start/finish line celebration on the SSM Health – St. Anthony Hospital campus.

Be sure to bring your kiddos (ages 8 and under) for the free Kids’ Dash, taking place just before the race!

It wouldn’t be the Saints Santa Run without a costume contest! Dress up like Santa or in your most festive holiday costume for a chance to win cash prizes immediately following the race. Post your photo on Facebook or Instagram and tag @downtownokc with hashtag #SaintsSantaRun for a chance to be included in our costume round-up.

Cue up our Saints Santa Run playlist and get ready to run!

Saints Santa Run FAQ

The Saints Santa Run will take place in Midtown and begin and end at the SSM Health – St. Anthony campus (1000 N Lee Avenue). Make sure you stick around in the district after the race to experience all of the great food, drinks, and shopping that Midtown has to offer!

Pre-race packet pick-up will take place on Friday, December 2nd from 11am to 1pm at SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital and from 3pm – 7pm at OK Runner. On-site registration on race day will begin at 8am. T-shirt sizes are limited on race day, so registering in advance is encouraged!

All registration fee information is detailed above. Depending on when you register, the 5K costs $25-$40 and the 1-mile Fun Run costs $15-$25. The Kids’ Dash is completely free!

Anyone! 5K’s are great for runners of all abilities and even their pets. Runners 8 and under can participate in the Kids’ 50 Yard Dash. Bonus points if you, your kids, and your pets are in costume.

We’re glad you asked. We have created a special Saints Santa Run playlist on Spotify to get you in the holiday run spirit. “Run Rudolph Run” seemed especially appropriate.

No, you don’t HAVE to wear a costume but it’s a lot of fun and you could win prizes! We will have prizes for Best Santa, Runner Up Santa, and Best Non-Santa costume. Cash prize details are above.

For fun and for Christmas! And for exercise too! All of the proceeds from the run go directly to Downtown Oklahoma City Partnership, providing services to the downtown area that include keeping the streets clean, safe and friendly services, marketing our amazing local businesses, and activating the core with community events and public art.

We love questions! Sometimes we’re a little slow to respond (it’s a busy time of year), so we appreciate your patience. Email our Development & Events Manager, Holly Hoyler, at holly@downtownokc.com.
