Santa Dash and Festive Fun Run

The event takes place at Lingwood Village Hall on spacious grounds and uses surrounding trail footpaths. It raises funds for the Mini Donks, Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing, and the donkeys will make a special visit during the day.

Distances offered:

5 km Santa Dash
2 km Family Festive Fun Run, which remains on the Village Hall grounds

New for 2026 is an Inflatable Fancy Dress Dash, a free 400 m dash for participants wearing an inflatable costume; participants may change before the main races. All finishers receive medals. To reduce costs and increase the donation amount, the races will not be timed. The minimum age for the 5 km event is 11 years. A Hug-a-Mug cafe will be open with snacks, home-made cakes and refreshments. Entry fees vary by distance and affiliation, ranging from £10 to £16. Permit ARC/26/0208 applies.
