Grab your friends and family for the St. Charles Regional Chamber's 14th Annual Santa's North Pole Dash! This year's theme is the 12 Days of Christmas. Come dressed a Partridge in a Pear Tree, a French Hen, or a Lord a-Leaping!

Santa's North Pole Dash features timed 5K and 1-Mile courses that are fun for serious runners and leisurely walkers alike. Both courses start along the riverside of Historic St. Charles and finish behind the Convention and Visitor's Bureau. After the race, stay for the awards and festivities. Get your photo taken in our life-size snow globe, eat a donut or two, and congratulate the winners of each age group. Then, enjoy the holiday traditions that downtown St. Charles has to offer.

The first 1500 to register will be guaranteed a themed hat and finisher medal. All participants will receive a themed runner's shirt. Themed shirts will be available in a guaranteed size through November 1st. After this date, the registration kiosk will display a countdown with the number of shirts remaining in each size. Once a size is gone, runners will need to select a different size.
