Santa's Scamper
Santa's Scamper is an annual charity fun run held in Calne. The route starts and finishes at Calne Community Campus, covers approximately 4 km and passes through the town centre.
The event has previously supported charities including Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Dorothy House, Hope for Tomorrow, Barnardo's and Hannah's Trees, raising over £15,000 to date. The charities for the 2026 edition will be announced nearer the event.
Entry includes a Santa suit and a finisher's medal for paid categories. Entry categories and prices are: Adult 15+ £14.00; Youth 9 to 14 years £12.00 (must be accompanied by an adult); Child 5 to 8 years £12.00 (must be accompanied by an adult). Children under 5 attend free but do not receive a suit or medal and must be accompanied by an adult. Suit size is determined by the selected entry category.
Entries close before the event or when sold out; there are no on-the-day entries. Pushchairs are allowed on the course when used with care. Scooters and other skating equipment are not permitted. After the run there is an after-party area where charities are present and visitors can have festive treats, hot drinks and hear a guest choir. This is a fun run and not a race.
