Lingwood Santa Dash & Fun Run 2026

The Lingwood Santa Dash & Fun Run is a family running event held at Lingwood Village Hall in the East of England. It includes a 5 km Santa Dash for runners aged 11 and over, a 2 km Family Festive Fun Run, and a free 400 m dash for those in inflatable fancy dress. The races are untimed, allowing more of the entry fee to support Mini Donks, Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing. The 5 km route follows the Village Hall’s grounds and adjacent trail footpaths, while the 2 km run takes place at the hall. Mini Donks provide donkeys for a visit, adding a village Christmas atmosphere to the event. Every participant receives a medal, and the Hug-a-Mug cafe will be open, serving snacks, homemade cakes, and drinks.
