Newbury Santa Fun Run
The Newbury Santa Fun Run takes place in Newbury on 22 November 2026. It is organised by Newbury Rotary Club and sponsored by ICONIQ FITNESS. Check-in and number collection are at the Waterside Centre, with the event assembling in Newbury Market Place.
The event offers the following distances:
- 1 km
- 5 km
Both routes start from Market Place and follow Northbrook Street into Parkway and Victoria Park; the 1 km returns to Market Place. The 5 km continues via Northcroft Lane, Moor Lane and the Speen area, including Old Bath Road and Strawberry Hill, before returning along Northbrook Street to finish in Market Place. Distances are approximate.
Runners may wear their own Santa suit or use a complimentary suit provided in various sizes; suit collection is available from Scott Waters Opticians in Northbrook Street prior to the event or at the Waterside Centre on the day. Participants who complete the run receive a medal. A prize will be awarded for the best dressed participating pet, with judging taking place in Market Place.
Entry fees are stated by age group: Adults £15, 8–18 years and Students £10, 5–7 years £7, under 5s free when accompanied by a registered adult. Net proceeds will support local and Rotary charities, and participants may raise funds for other causes. Young participants must follow the event age and supervision rules; participants are responsible for their own safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
