2026 Santa Shuffle Montreal

Santa Shuffle Montreal brings The Salvation Army’s national Fun Run & Elf Walk to Parc Frédéric-Back on Saturday, December 5, 2026. Presented with Running Room, it’s a festive community fundraiser supporting local Salvation Army programs that help with food, shelter, and practical support.

Registration is a single Individual – 5K Fun Run / 1K Elf Walk option, with a 10:00 a.m. start. Entrants get a race bib and a finisher’s medal/ornament, plus optional Holiday Hope Champion fundraising. It’s an easy seasonal pick among Montreal races if you want a family-friendly December shuffle with a clear community cause.

Race day is staged at Parc Frédéric-Back (Frédéric Back Park), with the meeting point listed as Parvis Papineau and parking noted on Papineau Avenue heading north. Official materials describe 5K Fun Run and 1K Elf Walk options but do not yet publish surface, elevation, or a detailed route map for the 2026 Montreal course.
