What's Happening in St. Louis, MO…

Santa’s North Pole Dash and Children’s Snowman Shuffle will come to St. Charles next month.

This will be the 11th year for the event, and residents can come together for a festive run.

The event will include a 5K run, a one-mile walk, and the Snowman Shuffle for children, and entrants are encouraged to don costumes while participating. The 5K run will also be timed, and awards will be given out to top male and female finishers for their age group.

Every participant will receive a holiday-themed shirt, and the first 1,500 registrants will receive a finisher’s medal. These items are usually made with the aid of local printing services to commemorate the event.

All entrants can pick up their race packet on the morning of the event or the day before. The packet will include race bibs but will not have the complimentary shirt or finisher medals.

Santa’s North Pole Dash and the Children’s Snowman Shuffle will take place on December 4 at 8:30 AM. Registration is $45 for the 5K run, $40 for the one-mile walk, and $25 for the shuffle. The event will happen at 230 South Main Street, and race packets will be available at this same location on race day and 3813 Mexico Road the day before.
