Get ready to rev your engines for a great cause! The 2025 Santa Run is happening on Saturday, December 6, beginning at 11 a.m. at Red River Dodge in Heber Springs.

This annual food and toy run benefits local children and area military families, helping ensure everyone enjoys a joyful Christmas season. The escorted ride will officially begin at noon, and participants are encouraged to bring at least one non-perishable food item and one unwrapped toy as their entry fee.

The Arkansas National Guard will be on hand to collect donations at DHP in Drasco, where all contributions will go directly to families in need. After the ride, participants can enjoy a free lunch provided by Mt. Zion Lodge and PECO Foods.

“This event is all about giving back to those who serve and to the children who make this season so special,” said Ben Johnson of Caveman Radio 89Nine, one of the event organizers. “Every donation makes a difference.”

The 2025 Santa Run will take place rain or shine, so riders and community members are encouraged to come out and show their support.
