Get ready to jingle all the way along the River Severn for our annual festive fun run that is sure to ignite the Christmas spirit within you.

Take your pick between two exciting routes, a delightful 4k dash around the river or a longer 7.5k route which extends through to Bennetts Farm’s fields.

Our starting point is at South Quay Fountains in Worcester city centre, where dance instructor Ellie Hawkins will warm you up and set the tone with some festive fun and music. Upon completing your jolly jog, you will be rewarded with a Santa Dash medal and a well-deserved Christmas treat.

Feel free to don a Santa Suit from a previous year to add to the Christmas cheer, or come dressed in any other festive outfit of your choice. A child’s ticket includes a Santa hat, which can be worn along with their chosen festive clothing. Santa suits and hats will also be distributed on the morning of the event. Your registration fee covers the event’s expenses.

Registration starts at 9am, and the dash will commence at 10am.

We understand that times may be challenging for some, and not everyone can donate as much or as frequently as they’d like. Nevertheless, we hope your participation will inspire those close to you to give what they can and support us in being there for patients and their loved ones across Worcestershire.
