Santa Run Wales 2026

Santa Run Wales takes place at Dare Valley Country Park, offering 2.5k and 5k routes rather than a competitive race format. It is designed for families, allowing children and parents to run or walk the course. The event encourages activities like dancing, prancing, and dressing up as integral parts of the day. The route is contained within the country park, with festive attire encouraged but not mandatory. All finishers will receive a Christmas-themed medal and a festive goody bag. The event also features Christmas music, prizes for fancy dress, and mince pies. Many participants wear Santa, snowman, elf, or reindeer costumes, making the field resemble a moving Christmas party more than a typical start line.
