Search For Santa - event overview
Search For Santa takes place on 17 December 2025 and covers 6 Miles (Measured by Sleigh). It is a self-navigation trail race held at night. Participants receive a written route description on the day; there are no course markings, marshals or GPX files. The event is not a mass start. Competitors will be timed out and back in at the finish. The route includes a secret destination with a cryptic clue that can earn time bonuses and a refreshment stop. Along the course participants will look for Santas and other items, including chocolate. Prizes may be awarded for quirky dress, behaviour and sense of humour. Race headquarters is at The Compasses, Littley Green.
