Monkton Milers Santa Dash

Monkton Milers Santa Dash 2025, now in its sixth year, is held in Troon to raise funds for NODA Ayrshire. The open event welcomes all ages and abilities to run, walk, or crawl in festive fancy dress, with under-11s accompanied by an adult. The flat route uses the Troon parkrun course: starting at the Sunken Garden, heading north along the South Beach Esplanade with a small loop, then finishing back near the Sunken Gardens.

The event is chip-timed, with numbers and chips collected at registration. Medals for all finishers, plus water and a sweet treat. Sign-ups: £12 (12+), £8 (4-11); cash only on the day; a 4% service fee applies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
