Ho, ho hold it right there…

Our Santa Run is back, and it’s set to be bigger than ever in 2023! 

Whether you run, jog or walk the 5k route at Wolverhampton’s West Park, the event is all about having fun, feeling festive and raising money for Beacon Centre for the Blind.

On the day every paying adult will receive a Santa suit and every child a Santa hat to wear during the race, we even have a bespoke medal so our favourite ‘Santa Paws’ friends can join in the fun. All (human) participants will also receive a shiny Santa Run medal with a brand new design for 2023.

Everyone is welcome so make it a date in your festive calendar! 

Online ticket registration has now closed but tickets can still be purchased on the day from the park’s bandstand between 9.30am and 10am. 

 

Date: Sunday December 3rd, 2023

Start time: Registration from 9.30am at West Park bandstand.
