EVENT DETAILS

Winter Haven Optimist Club proudly presents the Santa’s Run Fest – A Run for Our Kids runs along Winter Haven’s past famous Citrus Classic course. Choose a Half Marathon, 10k or 5k and be stunned by one of Florida’s most beautiful, classic run courses! The Start and Finish will be located Close to the Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce Building in Downtown Winter Haven, FL.

These courses include gentle rises, enough to cause pressure for the advanced competitors but not so much to frustrate the average person. This trek will pass by three pristine lakes and many lovely holiday-decorated homes. It will be well marked with security and volunteers all along the route. The Half Marathon route will additionally take runners out and back along the TRAIL (about 3.5 miles) with additional water stops and volunteers along the way.

There will also be Kids Races (Under 12) – $5 for all kids, Race distance varies with age group, begins at approximately 9am.
