Loughborough Santa Run
Get ready to dash through Loughborough this Christmas!
Join us on Sunday 7 December for the Loughborough Santa Run – a fun-filled festive event for the whole family! Whether you choose to hop, skip, dance, or dash your way along the route, you’re guaranteed to have a jolly good time.
As a special Christmas gift from us, everyone who registers will receive a Santa t-shirt to wear during the run and a finisher’s medal to celebrate crossing the line in style.
And don’t forget your furry friends! The Santa Run is open to your beloved ‘Santa Paws’, so bring your dogs along to share in the festive fun. You can even treat them to a Festive Dog Bandanna when booking – because every pooch deserves to feel part of the magic!

The route:
Loughborough will be bursting with Christmas cheer as a sea of Santas takes on our festive 5km or 2.5km loop – and the best part? No need to decide your distance in advance! Just follow the lead of our merry elves on the day and go at your own pace.
The fun kicks off in Loughborough Market Place, where you’ll ho-ho-hop your way through Queen’s Park, past Loughborough University, along Epinal Way, and all the way back to the Market Place to finish.
And don’t forget to strike a pose – our photographers will be dotted along the route capturing all the festive fun and frolics!
