Race packs.

These will be sent out from mid November

Ill or injured?

You should not run if ill or injured for your own safety.

I can't take part. Can I get a refund?

Sorry but we cannot give refunds. From the moment we start to organise a Santa Dash, we start to incur costs and your entry fee is invested into the cost of staging the event – barriers, toilets, numbers & pins, Santa Suits, etc.

Can someone else run instead of me?

No.They can’t for health & safety and insurance reasons. We need to know exactly who you are via your number incase of an emergency.

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Aim to get there at least 30 minutes before the start of the Santa Dash. This will leave enough time to get parked up and allows you enough time to use the loos and pick up your Santa suit.

Do I have to register when I get there?

No, just make your way to the information marquee and pick up your Santa Suit.

Local Santa Dash information

If you require local info on venue site, how to get there, parking and other facilities, please look at you local Santa Dash page on this web site.

Can I run with my friends?

Feel free. There is one race start for the 5k so you can line up with your friends and go around together.

I am a wheelchair user. Can I take part?

Yes you can. The surface at both venues is fine for wheelchair users.

Can I bring a buggy or a pushchair?

Yes but please start at the back and be very aware of other competitors.

Results

Santa Dashs are not serious races so we will not be taking results, however, there will be clocks at the event so you will know how fast you’ve run.

What to wear?

Comfortable clothing and footwear is important. If you intend to jog or run, we recommend you wear footwear design for that purpose otherwise you risk injury.

Please note – no dogs, skateboarding, rollerblading, cycling etc, will be allowed on the course for health and safety reasons.
