Join Santa in the City – a festive fun run for charity

Get ready to kick off the holiday season with Santa in the City! One of the biggest Santa runs in the UK, this festive 3.5km charity fun run is perfect for runners of all abilities. Sign up to take part on Wednesday 4th December, and whether you dash, jog or walk along the route, you'll feel the Christmas cheer as you take in iconic London sights. (This race is recommended for ages 16+; for a more family-friendly event, check out Santa in the City Tunbridge Wells on Saturday 7th December!)

Starting from Paternoster Square beside the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral, this fairly flat route winds along the north bank of the Thames before crossing the river, offering fantastic views. Pass iconic landmarks like Shakespeare’s Globe and the Tate Modern before looping back to Paternoster Square.

Every entry includes:

  • FREE 5-piece Santa suit (hat, beard, jacket, trousers and belt).
  • Limited edition medal to celebrate your achievement.

Sign up today through our partner, Run For Charity, to choose your date and secure your spot. But hurry – registration closes on Tuesday 26th November.
