Britain's What's On Event Guide
Farleigh Hospice Santa Fun Run
Join the Santa Squad for Farleigh Hospice’s annual Santa Fun Run!
Whether you run, jog, walk or wheel, this family-friendly 5km event is open to everyone. It’s accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and dogs on leads are welcome too – especially in their best festive outfits for our Best Dressed Dog competition!
NEW for 2025 - Following your feedback we have upgraded our Santa Suits – this year, every adult entry includes a breathable Santa top which should last for years to come! Bring your own Santa hat or buy one on the day. Kids will get a free elf hat to wear as they dash around the park.
Why Take Part?
The Santa Fun Run is a joyful way to celebrate the season, and support Farleigh Hospice. Your registration fee covers the cost of the event, but it’s your sponsorship that helps fund our care – which costs £21,271 every single day.
