A festive 10- or 5-kilometer run will close streets in Tacoma this weekend.

Santa Runs Tacoma, from downtown to Owen Beach, will necessitate the following closures from 6-9 a.m. Saturday, according to the city: South 8th Street between Pacific Avenue and A Street; A Street between South 9th and South 8th streets; and Pacific Avenue starting at South A Street, stretching north to Schuster Parkway and through Ruston Way, into Point Ruston Waterfront until Owen Beach.

Event-related street closures can be found at CityofTacoma.org/EventRoadClosures.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story mistakenly included a parade that occurred Dec. 3 as part of upcoming road closures.
