SANTA FUN RUN 2026 IS BACK! WITH NEW EXCITING FEATURES TO SHAREOur Santa Fun Run is making its return on Sunday 6th December 2026, at Arrow Valley Country Park in Redditch. Whether you dash jog or stroll, choose between a 1km, or 5km route which is 2 laps of the lake. You can also complete 1 lap around the lake instead for 2.5km.
You get a FREE santa suit to wear on the day, and when you cross the finish line you’ll be awarded a Santa-themed medal and a sweet treat!
Event timings are:
1K
Registration opens: 9.00am
Warm up: 9.45am
Start time 10.00am
5K
Registration opens: 9.45am
Warm up: 10.30am
Start time: 10.45am
We politely ask that participants arrive in time for registration of their chosen race, if you decide to arrive earlier as a 5km participant you will be required to wait until the start time (10.45am).
New for 2026 are a slight route change, a new prize tier for fundraising called “Santa’s Golden Ticket”, a Bucking Bronco ride called “Reindeer Rodeo”, an “instagrammable” Professional Group Photo Booth“ and more Route Entertainment than ever before not to mention a more family friendly ticket price. Of course we will still have – the “Someone at the Door” – Samba Band, to make for one incredible atmosphere!
Last year we raised nearly £16,000 but this year we want to go bigger! Because Santa Fun Run is about emphasising the “Fun” in Fundraising. The ticket prices covers our event costs, but the Fundraising is what drives how much we can impact the lives of patients and their families at the Hospice, for the better. Use the Santa Fun Run as an excuse to fundraise from family and friends, a little goes a long way!
In 2026:
Raise £60 to get 1 of Santa’s Golden Tickets – can you get 12 people to donate £5 each to your fundraising link?
As a reward, each Golden Ticket includes at the event:
1 x Free Reindeer Rodeo (Bucking Bronco) ride
1 x Free professional group photo (Digital Only)
1 x Free gingerbread latte/luxury hot chocolate & slice of cake at the award winning on-site Boathouse Cafe
Every 6 Golden Tickets awarded funds 1 Week of our Family Support Worker to attend the Primrose Unit to support the family in the lead up to their loved one’s passing.
Last year, 3 fundraisers raised over £400+ each. These have inspired us to introduce one top tier – the Christmas Tree. Any participant that raises £400 will be recognised with a Christmas Tree outfit to wear on the route instead of a Santa Suit and be invited on stage to recognise their achievements!
So what are you waiting for? Gather your friends, family and sign up so we can welcome you to a morning of festive fun to kickstart the run up to Christmas!
Thank you for your support!
Early bird tickets close at 11:59pm on Saturday 7th November
