Santas on the Train at Plym Valley Railway in Plymouth is an untimed 3k fun run with a festive train transfer to the start line. Participants travel aboard a restored steam locomotive and receive Christmas entertainment while en route to the course.
The event features four themed on-course stations: selfie, snow, song and sweet. Runners collect stamps at the stations and can exchange them for a gift when they visit Santa at the finish. Every participant receives a finishers medal. Festive treats, entertainment and stalls are available at the venue.

Tickets are priced as follows: Adult £14; Child (3 to 15 years) £7; child aged 2 and under free. Families and groups (one or more adults plus two or more children) receive a 20% discount. Each participant is asked to commit to a fundraising target of £35 individually or £93 as a family. There are 120 places available per wave. Spectators and dogs are allowed only at the start line at Plymbridge. On-site parking is free at Coypool carpark across from the station. Tickets are on sale until midday on Wednesday 25 November and on-the-day registrations are not accepted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
