Our iconic annual Santa Fun Run returns to Colchester Castle Park!The Santa Fun Run, now in its 16th consecutive year, is the ideal way to kick off your festive season and get fit at the same time, with friends, family and colleagues!
You can run, jog or walk the 2.5km or 5km routes around Colchester’s picture perfect Castle Park. Most of all you’ll be having fun while doing something amazing for your local hospital.
We would love for your fundraising to support Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity Fund which supports patients and staff when they need us most.

Just let us know your preference when you sign up.
