Overview

Hitch up your sleigh for London’s largest Santa Run and bring a flash of red to the streets of London with thousands of runners dressed as Santa Claus to spread festive fun and burn a few cheeky calories for the holidays.

Run your way around a 5k or 10k course and recover to the sounds of Christmas carols while sampling the delights of mince pies.

Free Santa Costume!

That’s right – no need to make your own or grow a white beard! Our deluxe 5 piece Santa costumes are given to all runners free of charge including a red cloak, matching trousers, jaunty bobble hat, a belt and that all important beard!

Or bring your own costume!

We welcome elves, reindeer, snowmen, Christmas bunnies, presents…in fact anything with a Christmas theme! There will be prizes for the best costume on the day for adults, children and pets (!) so get creative and dress to impress!

5km and 10km route

Tell us in advance or decide on the day (depending on how ‘festive’ your celebrations were the night before!). Once round the route for 5km or twice round for 10km – all Santas can easily remember that!

Festive Fun

Look out for our Christmas-themed characters and FREE mince pies!

Mini Santa Run

Our mini Santa Run will take place just before the main event. It’s completely free of charge and open to all children under the age of 8.

Pre-event support

Check out our FAQ for further information or email our friendly Santa Run team who will be able to help you out with all of your pre-event questions including fundraising and training advice.

Meet Santas on Facebook

Meet fellow Santas ahead of the run and if you’re on your own you will probably find other solo runners to run and train with! Our Santa Run Facebook page is a great place to share lots of tips and advice on the run and get to know each other ahead of the big day!

And finally!

You will be rewarded with a wonderful official souvenir of your achievement – the much coveted London Santa Run medal! This is something for you to treasure, remember your wonderful day by and shout about on social media!
