Hundreds Of Santas Descend Upon Madison Every Year During Run, Santa, Run 5K In Wisconsin

Calling all wannabe Santas, elves, and Abominable Snowmen (and women)! This Santa Run in Wisconsin definitely belongs on your holiday season bucket list. Even if you don’t feel like running, you can jog or walk along the course that features fun stations along the way. You might even meet the real Santa, and you’ll probably run into the Grinch during the 5K, too.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
