Wild State Cider hosting Wild Santa 5k Run

Wild State Cider, located in Duluth, Minnesota is holding the annual event on December 14, 2024. The main event is the Wild Santa Run. It's a 5k and the best part is you don't need a Santa suit. They'll give you a five-piece Santa Suit to run in with your registration. At the end of the race, you can recycle the Santa Suit for next year. The Wild Santa 5k starts at 10:30 AM on December 14.

Race takes you through Duluth's Lincoln Park Craft District

The race starts and ends at Wild State Cider, and also passes by Bent Paddle Brewing twice. They'll be offering their Christmas Cookie Cream Ale to runners.

Reindeer Run for Kids is Free

Bring the kiddos! There's a 1/4 mile fun run for kids 8 and under. The best part - it's free! The fun run starts at 10:00 am before the Santa Run.
