Santa Dash

This year race registrations will be taken electronically through Fleet Feet and the RaceRoster website. Racers have the option to pay online with a credit card at the time of registration or coming by the Chamber office and paying with check or cash. We will not be distributing shirts in person this year.  All shirts will be mailed out of Memphis the week of the race.  If you want your shirt prior to the race, your best bet is to register before November 17th.  All who register by that date will have their shirts shipped in plenty of time to arrive.  Any delays and you can pin that on the post office 😁.

** For those registering during our Early Bird Special and paying via Check / Cash - your registration fees MUST be paid in full before 7/12/2021.  Those registrations still outstanding will be voided and removed from the system.  You will then need to re-register at the current pricing.

This year, we will not be holding packet pick up, but bib assignments / pick up.  For those who register and pay in full before November 17th, your selected shirt and size will be shipped directly to the address provided on your registration.  You will only need to show up to Fleet Feet to pick up your bibs.  You MAY pick up bibs for others in your group.

There are several parking lots available to park in including the City’s free parking garage located at 2nd Street and Morgan, the Boathouse parking lot, located at the corner of Boone’s Lick Road and Riverside Drive, and the AT&T lot located at Clark and 2nd Street and the Foundry Art Centre parking lot located at the intersection of North Main Street and Riverside Drive. Street parking on Riverside Drive and Main Street will NOT be allowed. Also, there will be no parking in the public parking lots between First Capitol Drive and Boone's Lick Road

We typically will not cancel the race - By definition, all unforeseeable events or occurrences that may affect the Santa’s North Pole Dash cannot be succinctly defined. GSTCCC acknowledges that its events are in East Central Missouri where cold and icy days are common in the winter. As such, the Santa’s North Pole Dash generally shall occur come rain, snow or shine because GSTCCC understands the training and expense participants have invested in competing in our race and training.

If you decide not to participate or the race is canceled,  GSTCCC will not provide refunds to participants, sponsors, vendors, or others who have expended funds on the race. The Santa’s North Pole Dash requires an extensive amount of planning and pre-event expenses that include proper permitting, course control, and the purchase of food and beverages, shirts, and race awards. 

It is not possible for us to delay or postpone our race by even an hour or two.  The goal of the Santa’s North Pole Dash is for our athletes to participate in our run and stay in the historic district to enjoy the fine dining and shopping venues available during the holiday season.  We cannot hamper the small business owners in Historic St. Charles by closing down the streets during their busiest retail season to conduct our race.
