Rotary Santa Run

When was the last time you saw 1,500 Santas running at the same time?


The 5th Annual Rotary Santa Run will take place on Saturday December 1, 2012 in downtown Arlington Heights with more the 1,500 area runners and walkers—all provided with a 5-piece Santa Claus suit. Registration is easy at www.rotarysantarun.org.


There will also be a 1-mile walk for those who prefer a Santa stroll and a Rotary Reindeer Run for those 10 and under.

Participants and spectators from all over the Chicago region--not to mention from out of state--will be running, strolling, cheering, laughing, ho-ho-ing, dancing, eating, drinking and sharing all for the local and global charitable causes of the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights. 


To date, the Rotary Santa Run has raised more than $103,000. It is a wonderful and fun way to give back to the community and be a part of a growing Chicago area winter event.
