The event is perfect for all the family, with children under 5 going free. And when you sign up, you’ll receive one of our Santa hats to get you in the festive mood, as well as one of our festive medals when you cross the finish line.

There are three races during the event. Participants can choose to take part in the 2.5k, 5k or 10k races.

Entry costs £5 for the 2.5k race, £8 for the 5k race and £10 for the 10k race with children aged five and under free. When registering, a fundraising page will be automatically generated for participants who can then raise as much as they like for the charity. There is no minimum fundraising amount to take part.
