Holly Jolly Fun Run

About the Holly Jolly Fun Run

A merry way to help the parade. The Santa Claus Parade has brought joy to Toronto for over 100 years. To keep this wonderful tradition alive, we need you to don your running shoes. Join us for the return of the Holly Jolly Fun Run! It’s just 5k and you’ll run along the same route as the Santa Claus Parade. Thousands will cheer you on as you show your festive spirit!

  • Runners must be 8 years or older & accompanied by an adult if 10 or under.
  • No strollers or dogs allowed
 

45 minutes before the Parade starts, runners and Christmas enthusiasts join together for the most festive 5K on record – The Holly Jolly Fun Run. Dress silly and get cheered on by hundreds of thousands of parade-goers, finishing at Maple Leaf Square. Then find your family and enjoy the Parade!

The 5km Holly Jolly Fun Run will lead the way for the Parade, starting at 11:45 am ET at 600 Bloor St W. East of Palmerston and West of Markham St., and will end at Maple Leaf Square. Over 1,000 runners are expected to join with all proceeds directly supporting the Parade.
