This year we’re adding an extra sprinkle of Christmas magic with a special visit from the Elf on the Shelf, perfect for festive selfies with family and friends.
And in 2026 our four-legged friends will be an even bigger part of the celebration. The Santa Run is the perfect festive event to enjoy with your dog, so dress them up in their best Christmas outfit and make it a day to remember.
By joining the Santa Run, you’ll be helping Beacon support people living with sight loss across the Black Country and wider West Midlands. Every step, and every paw print, makes a difference. We’ll also have our professional photographer from Nathan Styles Photography, to give capture the festive fun with free downloads available after the event.
