Broughton Astley Santa Dash & Dawdle
The Squirrels Running Group stages the Broughton Astley Santa Dash & Dawdle on Sunday 6 December 2026. The event combines running, jogging and walking with a festive atmosphere for participants of all ages.
The start and finish are at The Green in the centre of Broughton Astley, positioned just outside the George and Dragon and the Conservative Club. Parking is available at the White Horse Pub, Broughton Astley COOP, Frolesworth Road Park and other village locations; participants are advised to allow plenty of time for parking and arrival.
There are two route options:
- 3K roughly three kilometres
- 5K roughly five kilometres with a midway choice to continue
Entry fees and inclusions are stated as follows: adults and those over 15 pay £15, children aged 5 to 15 pay £10, and children under 5 enter free. Entry includes an event T shirt and a Santa hat, and medals are awarded at the end of the run.
Dressing in festive outfits is optional and encouraged, provided clothing is safe and comfortable for running or walking. Children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult who stays within arm's distance; parental permission is required for all children. Dogs are not permitted.
Any profit from the event will be donated to the club charity Young Lives vs Cancer. The event will generally go ahead in typical winter weather but may be amended, postponed or cancelled if conditions become unsafe; changes will be communicated through the organisers' channels.
