Holly Jolly Fun Run

The Holly Jolly Fun Run is a cheerful and festive community run that kicks off holiday spirit in Toronto, Ontario, perfectly timed with the city’s beloved Original Santa Claus Parade. This fun, non-competitive running and walking event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to celebrate the season with jingling bells, silly costumes, and laughter along a family-friendly route. Whether runners are dressed as elves, reindeer, or Santa himself, the Holly Jolly Fun Run brings together families, friends, and neighbourhoods for a joyous pre-parade celebration of fitness, community, and holiday cheer. The event often includes music, giveaways, and spirited crowd support, making it a memorable way to start the holiday-season festivities.
