Join us for the 2024 Holly Jolly Fun Run at the Santa Claus Parade! This is the most festive and fun 5k run in Toronto, starting just prior to The Original Santa Claus Parade. Participants will follow the parade route to the finish line at Maple Leaf Square, cheered on by over half a million spectators.
