Every December, the city of Puteaux transforms into a real playground for hundreds of jolly Santa Clauses on the move. What started out as a simple year-end event has become a local tradition, a happening that regulars now mark on their calendars every year.
The formula is simple: an electrifying atmosphere, a 100% festive spirit, and a red and white dress code that's impossible to miss. The result? A joyful hustle and bustle where the main goal is to have fun, and where everyone always returns!

Two paths, zero pressure, 100% good vibes
On Sunday, December 14th, put on your sneakers and pom-pom hat: the race is open to everyone, no timekeeping or rankings. Two options to shine in the streets of Puteaux:
– 3 km for families, walkers, and beginners.
– 5 km for those ready to trot a little more.
The golden rule: don’t forget your Christmas costume. Sparkly sweaters, red coats, or glowing hats… anything goes as long as it brings a smile.
As for the cost, it’s free for under 3s, 5 € for locals, and 10 € for everyone else. A small price for a big dose of festive spirit.
