The 25th anniversary Santa Claus Race was held in Palić, an event that brought together lovers of the festive atmosphere and recreation.
This race, which has already become traditional, attracted participants of all generations, and the only requirement for participation was wearing a Santa Claus hat. An endless column of Santas of all generations flowed around Palić, the sunny day was ideal for a race or a walk, and after the race, people enjoyed bread with lard and paprika and hot tea.
Regardless of age or fitness level, hundreds of participants, from the youngest to the oldest, enjoyed this event. The course was adapted to everyone – both runners and walkers, because the goal of the event was not competition, but socializing, joy and celebrating the holiday spirit together.
All participants received medals, and those with the most creative Santa costumes won special prizes.
This year, the event also has a special humanitarian character. All participants and visitors are invited to bring packages and thus contribute to the campaign “Be a Santa Claus!” The goal is to make children who need such gestures of support and joy the happiest through donations.
Palić was filled with joy and happiness that day, and the jubilee Santa Claus Race once again proved how important such events are for the community and the preservation of holiday traditions.
The event is organized by Park Palić, the Ultramarathon Federation of Serbia, and the City of Subotica.
On December 1, 2024, Palić became the happiest place in northern Serbia, gathering hundreds of Santa Claus.
This is slowly getting us into the December mood in the right way.
