Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps
Mild 53°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 63°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 70% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
Santa's Toy Trot is a holiday-themed 5K, 10K and half marathon in Santa Monica, California, held on a Sunday in mid-December. The start is at Palisades Park across from Tongva Park, and the half marathon is a 4.37-mile out-and-back route run three times along the oceanfront path, which is open to other users. Runners are asked to bring an unwrapped new toy for a toy drive, and the course closes after 3 hours 20 minutes. High Tide Runs organizes the race, which has run every December since 2023.
