Race Management
Traditionally we get a group together for one final race. The Santa Shuffle is the last race of the season and we try to spend our time winning the costume contest over the race itself. For the past two years we have won best team costume with last year being 'Live in the Present' where we each dressed as gifts and this year we won for 'North Pole Budget Cuts' dressed as stuffed animals with antlers and an elf leading santa's sleigh....this is a quick loop through the neighbourhood and very family friendly with a 1K for elfs before the adult 5K. It is usually cold so I suggest bundling up or planning your costume accordingly. Friendly group, well attended and nice finishers medal for everyone who participates. Long sleeve cotton tee shirt and a good buffet afterwards with many door prizes to keep racers satisfied. Santa and Mrs. Claus are on hand for the children and donations go towards local Salvation Army. Great volunteers, timed by the Running Room and a good race for those wanting a fairly flat course and low pressure race. No vendors on site for this one.
