Santa's Toy Trot...2-mile, 4-mile, 6-mile Road Race & Elves Fun Run 2026

Santa's Toy Trot takes place on December 13, 2026, starting at 10:00 A.M. at Sweetsir School in Merrimac, MA. Runners choose between 2-mile, 4-mile, or 6-mile distances on a looped paved course. The race features chipped timing with male and female overall awards plus age group awards (10-year groups through age 59, then 5-year groups from 60 to 90+), with prizes awarded two places deep in each category. Children 10 and under can participate in a free fun run led by club volunteers before the main race. A portion of proceeds benefits the Merrimac Holiday Helper Program. The first 200 registrants receive a giveaway, and awards are given for the best ugly Christmas sweater.
