Ho-ho-hope to see you there!

This Christmas, join us as we dash through Loughborough as we bring you the Loughborough Santa Run!

Taking place on Sunday 1 December, this festive event is perfect for the whole family… whether you want to hop, skip, dance or run the route “yule” be sure to have lots of fantastic festive fun.

As a gift from us to you this Christmas, everyone who signs up to take part will also receive their very own Santa t-shirt before they start the run; while you’ll also receive a finishers medal once you’ve crossed the finish line.

And to get all the family involved, the event is also open to your ‘Santa Paws’, so bring your pooches along too. To help make the event ‘pawsome’ for the four-legged friends taking part, there’s also the opportunity to purchase a Festive Dog Bandana when booking – because we wouldn’t want dogs to feel left out!

Tickets:

Adult – £15

Children – £8

Add ons:

Doggy Bandana –  £2.50

Santa Hat –  £2.50

The route:

Loughborough is set to be filled with Santas who are invited to take on our 5km or 2.5km loop route as they help spread Christmas cheer. There is no need to choose your distance beforehand you can simply let our elves guide you on the day!

Starting in the Market Place, you’ll ho-ho-hop your way through Queen’s Park down to the University before making your way along Epinal Way and finishing back in the Market Place. Make sure to smile for our photographers along the route who’ll be capturing lots of snaps of the festive fun!

Festive fun on the day:

If you need to collect your Santa t-shirt on the day registration will be open from 9am.

Warm up with us from 9.30am as the on stage entertainment begins.

On your marks, get set, run… the race starts at 11am – leaving plenty of time to head for some Christmas shopping afterwards!

On the day, we’ll also be joined by the Loughborough Panto Dame, Bouncing Becky, and our festive brass band.

Festive fundraising:

All the money from your registration fee will ensure Rainbows can organise the best Santa Run Loughborough has ever seen and fundraising couldn’t be easier. As a charity, Rainbows is almost entirely dependent on people like you to provide the funds that keep our services going and every penny you raise will help us to Brighten Short Lives.

  • £5 could fund our Play Team for fun and learning, using arts and crafts materials
  • £20 could pay towards the care of a family member who has been recently bereaved
  • £70 could fund an hour session of Music Therapy

Setting up a Justgiving page couldn’t be easier and our fundraisers will support you every step of the way!
