Join the team at Salop Leisure for the Salop Santa Dash — a festive 5K run (or walk!) packed with Christmas cheer, laughter, and a sea of Santa suits. Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply looking for a fun festive outing with family and friends, this event is for everyone.
There is no age restriction. Under 5s can join for FREE (Santa suits not provided).
All participants aged 8+ can also take on our exciting Assault Course after the race between 10am and 1pm.
Every participant receives:
🎅 A Santa outfit to wear on the day
🏅 A finisher’s medal to celebrate your achievement
Santa suits can be collected from Salop Leisure from Monday 1st December so you’re ready to dash in style.
Make a festive day of it! 🎄
The LovePlants Christmas Market will be open during and after the dash, offering:
• Seasonal stalls
• Local produce
• Christmas gifts
• Decorations & festive treats
Perfect for warming up with a hot chocolate or mulled wine while you browse.
