The Santa Run 5k and Toy Drive is a collaborative effort between law enforcement, private sector, community organizations, faith-based partners, and City agencies to collect Christmas gifts for deserving children on the Westside of Chicago. The 5k course through Columbus Park will provide a unique opportunity to the Santa donors.
The 5k fun-run course will take place on Saturday December 12, 2020 inside of Columbus Park. For health precautions, the race will have 7 separate staggered start times taking place every 20 minutes from 10:00AM to 12:00PM. Each run will be limited to the first 10 registered runners. Santa-themed attire encouraged! Santa hats will be provided to all runners.
The Toy collection process will utilize a contactless “Stuff the Squad” concept. Chicago Police Department vehicles will be on site where donors can load unwrapped toys and gifts into the vehicles.
All Santa 5k runners will receive a race medal
