Event overview
The Exeter Santa Run is organised by Exeter City Community Trust and will take place on Sunday, 7 December 2025. The event offers two distances for participants:
- 2.5 km family fun run
- 5 km run
Participation is open to people of all ages and abilities. The event is not a timed race, so finish times do not need to be submitted. Dressing in a Santa suit is optional; a limited number of suits are available to purchase when booking. The organiser notes that push chairs and dogs may also be dressed in festive attire.
Entry, fundraising and participant benefits
Entry can be secured either by booking a place independently or by taking a charity place with Exeter City Community Trust. Charity places require a minimum fundraising pledge of £30 or £60 depending on the distance (excluding gift aid). The event supports named charity partners including Exeter Leukaemia Fund, Alright Mate and Children’s Hospice South West.
Runners joining the Trust’s fundraising team receive a technical running top, a fundraising pack, access to online training materials, post-event hospitality and designated cheer points on the course.
