Ultra Sweaty Santa
Devils Elbow, United States • 12 Jul 2025
Ultra Sweaty Santa is a unique 6-hour endurance race held annually in Devils Elbow, Missouri, celebrating Christmas in July. Participants can run for 30 minutes, 3 hours, or the full 6 hours on a shaded 6-mile crushed gravel loop alongside the Big Piney River, with a shorter 3-mile loop option available. The course features a notable hill at the turnaround, with special prizes for those who conquer it most often. The event is free, encourages donations to Operation Christmas Child, and includes a costume contest and awards for top male and female finishers. After the race, runners can cool off at a private beach near The Elbow Inn. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
