Oakdale's Jolliest Race!

Formerly the Trot for Tots 5K, Run Santa Run 5K - Oakdale is hosted by Helicon Brewing and takes place on the adjacent Panhandle Trail. 

Join hundreds of runners and walkers from all over Western Pennsylvania to fill the trail with Santas and elves.  We sold the last several years so don't wait!  Be sure to register early.  Runners are encouraged to dress "festive" and we will have prizes for the top 3 holiday outfits.

Be sure to stick around afterward for great beer and fun with our amazing host, Helicon Brewing.

Race Start Time:  9:00 AM

As with all Pittsburgh Run Santa Run 5k's, we will be collecting toy donations for Amachi Pittsburgh to support their work with local kids in need.   Full details on Amachi and its mission can be found below.

Support Amachi Pittsburgh

toy donations

Once again, GCXC is proud to support Amachi Pittsburgh.  Amachi Pittsburgh raises awareness and delivers services to give children a fighting chance in Allegheny County-- when the community is knowledgeable about the challenges that they face, children have the support they need to thrive. This awareness creates policy-level change so that youth are unburdened from a system that has made them more vulnerable to the criminal justice system.

Please help us support Amachi by donating during your registration or by bringing an unwrapped toy for a child aged infant through 18 years old.  These gifts will be distributed to children throughout the county during December and hopefully bring them a sense of support and joy during the holiday season.
