Saint Nick's Run Fest

Tyler, United States • 13 Dec 2025

Saint Nick's Run Fest is a charity trail race held at Lindsey Park in Tyler, Texas.

The event emphasizes a festive, Santa-hat atmosphere and supports children during Christmas through three partner charities: Operation Christmas Child, Toys For Tots, and Angel Tree, with a portion of registration donated.
