Mini Athletics Santa Fun Run!

Join us for a festive family fun run for children aged 2–12 and their families, with Santa himself joining us at the athletics track.

Lace up your running shoes, get ready for plenty of Christmas cheer and see how many laps you can complete!

The one-hour experience includes:

• Welcome Santa – Cheer as Santa makes his grand entrance onto the athletics track and gets ready to join the fun.
• Warm Up with Santa – Get moving with Santa in a fun festive warm-up before the running begins.
• The Santa Fun Run – Run, jog or walk around the athletics track for 20 minutes, collecting a sticker for every 400m lap completed. Returning from last year? Can you beat your previous total?
• Santa’s Medal Presentation – Every child will receive their Santa Fun Run medal from Santa himself to celebrate their achievement.
• Photo with Santa – Finish the experience with the chance to get a photo with Santa and your medal.

Last year was our very first Santa Fun Run and the response was incredible. Seeing so many children and families running around the track together made it a brilliant way to start the Christmas season — so we had to bring it back!

Whether your child wants to race Santa around the track, jog with their family or simply walk their laps, this isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about getting active, challenging yourself and having a brilliant festive experience together.

And if you joined us last year, bring that running card mentality back — how many laps can you and your Child complete with Santa this time?

The full event experience will last approximately 60 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE: Children under the age of 6 must have an adult accompany them on the track.
