Santaklaus Running Belluno, Italy (Copyright © 2012  Hendrik Böttger)

 

The Santa Klaus Running in northern Italy offers a half marathon race, a 12k and a 6k fun run, and a 10k for nordic walkers.

All entrants receive a Santa Claus outfit which they must wear on the course.

Starting and finishing on the main square of Belluno (a very pretty old town that sits at the foot of the Dolomites), participants run through Belluno's historic centre as well as through rural areas and villages.

The route is very scenic and challenging with several interesting off-road sections.

Last year, the event had over 1200 finishers.
