Santa Shuffle Fun Run & Elf Walk just six weeks away

This weekend marks six weeks to go until the Santa Shuffle Fun Run and Elf Walk. Join us for a five-kilometre run or one-kilometre walk in five different locations around the Maritimes and help The Salvation Army raise critical funds for those in need.

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 10 a.m., in Dartmouth, NS, Moncton, NB, Fredericton, Saint John, NB, and Charlottetown.

Last year, almost 2,000 people came out to the five Maritime Santa Shuffles. Participants can have fun, collect a medal (one for everyone who finishes either course), and have a chance to win some fantastic door prizes. Participants also collect pledges from their friends, family and community to make an impact and help those in need this Christmas and throughout the year.

In Dartmouth, the biggest race in the region, one fortunate shuffler is going to walk away with two tickets anywhere WestJet flies. To be eligible for the prize, all you have to do is bring in $50 or more in pledges.

At all of our races, if you bring in $50 in pledges you receive a free race t-shirt (also available for purchase for $15). There are also additional incentives based on how much you bring in, including gift cards for your local Running Room.

Please consider joining us at this year’s event and collect some pledges to help those in need while qualifying yourself for some fantastic incentives and prizes. If you’re unable to attend, please consider pledging to a runner for the event.
