When you’re running a holiday race, running costumes are a must. And what’s more perfect for a Santa Run or Holiday Race than a Santa running costume or Elf costume for running?
Santa & Elf Running Costumes
Santa usually needs a sleigh & eight flying reindeer to help him travel the globe. But if you’re planning to run a holiday race, you might have to trade in the flying reindeer for a pair of running shoes. Think the Santa running costume is the perfect costume for running your holiday race? Here’s what you’ll need –
Santa Running Costume:
* {one} red tank top
* {one} red Sparkle Athletic skirt
* {one} hot pink (or red) Santa Hat
* {one} pair of hot pink (or red) Sparkle Athletic Sparkle Sleeves
* {one} pair red & white striped Sparkle Athletic Race Legs
* optional: pink or red running shoes (while they aren’t necessary, pink or red running shoes really are the “icing on the cake”)
Holiday Race: Elf running costume
Have you traveled “through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then walked through the Lincoln Tunnel?” Then maybe the Elf running costume is the perfect costume for running your holiday race? Here’s what you’ll need –
Elf Running Costume:
* {one} green tank top
* {one} green Sparkle Athletic skirt
* {one} Elf hat (tutorial found here)
* {one} pair of green Sparkle Athletic Sparkle Sleeves, with DIY “fur” cuffs
* {one} pair yellow & green striped Sparkle Athletic Race Legs
* optional: wide black “elf” belt & green running shoes (while they aren’t necessary, a belt & green running shoes really are the “icing on the cake”)
