The Elf Dash

Get ready to dash through the snow (or sweat through Downtown Venice) in the most magical and mischievous way possible—our FIRST annual Elf Dash is here! Whether you're a seasoned sprinter or just here for the holiday cheer, this is your chance to channel your inner elf and jingle all the way to the finish line.

Join us for a spirited dash of just under 1 mile and don’t forget to wear your pointy shoes and jingliest bells—Santa will be watching, and he’s working on his list!

The Elf Dash is all about having fun, so leave your seriousness at the North Pole. Whether you’re a Dasher, a Prancer, or just want to walk like a Vixen, this is your day to shine brighter than Rudolph’s nose.

After the race, warm up with hot cocoa, cookies, and a prime spot to watch the Venice Holiday Parade, with all Santa's favorite friends, and even Santa himself, as he makes his final appearance at the end of the parade before getting back to the North Pole!

So, grab your fellow elves, your jolliest holiday attire, and let’s dash through the merriest race of the year!

Pro tip: The more you jingle, the faster you’ll go. Or at least, you’ll sound like you’re going faster.
