On 13 December 2025, Santa’s Sleigh 5K & Kids 1K returns, starting and finishing at DICK’S House of Sport at Baybrook Mall in Friendswood, TX. The event offers two distances: a 5 km race (chip-timed, with a 2-hour time limit) and a 1 km kids’ fun run. The route is relatively flat and fast, winding around portions of the mall’s perimeter and local streets. Runners are encouraged to dress in festive attire—Santa, elves, holiday shirts, fun socks, etc.—to add to the spirited atmosphere. After the race, participants can enjoy announcements, refreshments, and a post-race celebration.
