LAS VEGAS — Thousands of runners will take over downtown Las Vegas for the city’s annual Christmas tradition benefiting Opportunity Village.
The Great Santa Run takes place on Dec. 6, 2025, at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, where thousands of participants will don a five-piece Santa suit. Runners can choose between the 5 K or 1-mile distance, both of which are wheelchair, walker, and pet-friendly.
Registration runs from Sept. 30 through Nov. 22 for $52.50, and increases to $57.50 from Nov. 23 through race day. The race entry includes a five-piece Santa suit, a swag bag, and a finisher medal. All proceeds from the event are used to support Opportunity Village’s mission to employ, empower, and serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Nevada.
Participants also have the option to raise additional funds using the social media toolkit, which includes a template fundraising ask letter, social media graphics, and a printable flyer.
