About the Santa Shuffle

The Santa Shuffle is a family-friendly 5K Fun Run and 1K Elf Walk held annually on the first Saturday in December in communities across Canada. Participants fundraise for their local Salvation Army while enjoying a festive event that brings people together to support their neighbours.

Funds raised through the Regina Santa Shuffle help support programs offered through The Salvation Army Regina Community Church, including Daily Bread, twice-weekly food line services, Lunch with Sally, the Saturday Night Food Truck, emergency food hampers, and programs that support children and families throughout the year.

Last year, more than 200 Regina participants raised over $15,000 to help sustain these vital community services.

Registration for the 2026 Santa Shuffle is now open. The Regina event will take place on December 5 at the Conexus Arts Centre.
