Santa Runs Tacoma

Santa Runs Tacoma is a Tacoma tradition! A festive family affair!

This is one of Tacoma’s fastest Half Marathon courses. Starting in Downtown Tacoma, you’ll run down the Murry Morgan draw bridge to sea level, run along the Glass Museum Esplande. You’ll continue along the waterfront and hop on the Ruston Way Path and run towards Tacoma’s newest waterfront destination, the Point Ruston Waterwalk and Tacoma’s Dune Peninsula Park where you’ll turn around and fly like Santa along the flat and fast waterfront to the finish at Dock Street!

The Bud Light Frosty’s 5K is a scenic point-to-point course starting at the State Farm building in downtown Tacoma. During the race, runners will cross the Murray Morgan Bridge and experience first-hand the greatness of Puget Sound. After the short ascent off the Murray Morgan Bridge, runners will be treated to a flat and fast course going through the beautiful Esplanade along the Glass Museum along Tacoma’s Dock Street for their big finish along the Puget Sound.

All Half Marathon and 5k finishers will receive a finisher medal!
