Santa Beach Run

Grab your Santa hat and hit the beach for Carteret Partnership for Children’s First Annual Santa Beach Run! The Santa Beach Run is a great way to celebrate the holiday season and support one of Carteret County’s favorite charities.

The starting line is located at the historic Atlantic Beach Circle in Atlantic Beach, NC. You will get to dash along the iconic scenic beach all while raising money to help children in our local community.

Runners are encouraged to get creative and dress up like Santa or in their most festive holiday attire for a chance to win prizes in the costume contest following the 5K. Prizes will also be awarded to the top overall male and female 5K race winners.

There will be free activities before and after the race, including food trucks, complimentary snacks and drinks and festive music. There is also a free Reindeer Fun Run for the kids.
