Santa pulling the sleigh on his mountain bike.

Santa Goes Full Strava: Reindeer Rest, Elves Lace Up

NWA Spring Classic Road Race

This year, Santa’s ditched the sleigh and given the reindeer some much-needed PTO. After decades of indulging in eggnog, fruitcake, sugar cookies, and that stint moonlighting as a certain soda company’s mascot, the big guy was starting to feel less “Jolly Old Saint Nick” and more “Bumble with a bad bounce.”

Santa’s Fitness Adventure

Fed up with the “bowl full of jelly” comments and longing for his Kris Kringle glory days, Santa’s gone full fitness influencer. His plan? Train while delivering presents. Who says multitasking isn’t magical? Forget NORAD’s Santa tracker—this year, if you want to spot him, keep an eye out for a red blur zipping through your neighborhood, likely rocking a sweatband and a new set of trail runners.

And whatever you do, don’t leave out cookies this year! Santa swapped his sweet tooth for energy gels, recovery drinks, and maybe a Honey Stinger Waffle or two. The man’s on a mission, and he’s going to need all the clean fuel he can get. You might even see him at some of these upcoming events.

Oh, and breaking news—Santa’s recruited a couple of elves to join the fitness fun. Let’s hope their pointy shoes can handle the mileage.

Here’s wishing you and your family a holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and maybe a little extra cardio. See you on a trail, road, or waterway soon! 🎄
