Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag…

We invite you to join us, Kris Kringle (a.k.a. Santa Claus) at Gas Works Park, (2101 N. Northlake Way, Seattle WA 98103) on Saturday morning, July 20th for the Christmas in July 5K and Kids Dash.

This unique new holiday-themed event will have something for everyone:

A 5K & 10K run and walk beginning and ending at Gas Works Park. These timed courses are completely flat.

Finisher Medals Yes its true, each finisher of the 5K will receive an awesome Christmas in July finisher medal. Consider it one of your early Christmas presents.

T shirt & bib number Your entry also includes a fabulous custom-designed Christmas in July T shirt and specially designed bib number.

Free kids dashes – The Little Reindeer Dash -- for children 12 and under. Each child will receive a custom printed Little Reindeer Run bib number as well as a ribbon at the finish line.

Pictures With Santa Well, of course! What would a Christmas party be without Santa Claus? Kris has promised to make the trip down south for us and to stick around for pictures throughout the morning.

There will also be at least two photo walls for you to use for pictures.

Holiday Spirit Garden Maybe we should have put this one at the top of the page! For those 21 years of age or older (be sure to bring I.D.!). Santa loves beer, wine and mimosas!

Live DJ We’ll have a live DJ spinning fantastic tunes all morning long in the Holiday Spirit Garden so you can get your Christmas groove on!

Non Alcoholic Beverages For those so inclined, whether under 21 or over.

Costume Contest(s) Hey, it’s Christmas after all, so consider dressing up with a little crazy holiday spirit and possibly win one of the great costume contest prizes we’ll be giving out. So bring out your ugly sweaters and/or best Christmas attire, whatever you want and get into the Spirit of the Season!

ALSO… Music, food and drink samples, swag, random prizes and more great stuff from our many vendors and sponsors at the event.
