Salop Santa Dash

Get ready to jingle all the way around Salop Leisure! Join us for a festive 5K run (or walk!) filled with holiday cheer, laughter, and plenty of Santas.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or just looking for a fun way to kick off the festive season with family and friends — everyone is welcome, there is no age restriction. (Under 5's can take part for FREE but suits are not provided)

All participants aged 8 and over can complete our Assault Course after the race between 1000 and 1300.

All participants will receive a Santa outfit to wear on the day and a special finisher’s medal to celebrate your achievement. Outfits can be collected from Salop Leisure during the week before the event from Monday 1st December, so you’ll be ready to dash in style!

While you’re here, make a day of it and enjoy the LovePlants Christmas Market, which will be open during and after the Santa Dash. Browse a range of seasonal stalls offering local produce, festive decorations, gifts, and treats — the perfect place to warm up with a hot chocolate or mulled wine and soak in the Christmas spirit.

All money raised from the Salop Santa Dash will go to Severn Hospice, helping to support their vital work in our community. By taking part, you’re not just having fun — you’re making a real difference this Christmas.
