YMCA Santa Run : Reigate
The YMCA Santa Run takes place in Priory Park, Reigate on 13 December 2026. Participants may run or walk short routes to raise money for YMCA East Surrey. The event offers two distances and provides a themed experience with Santa suits and medals included in the entry fee.
- 1 mile family run for children and adults
- 3 miles adult route, 16+ where part of the route uses open roads
Entry is listed at £13.50 and includes a Santa suit unless the participant opts out. Santa suits can be collected from the YMCA Sports & Community Centre in Redhill from 30 November, with the last collection at the YMCA at noon on 12 December; suits are also available at Priory Park on the day.
The 1 mile route uses paths inside the park. The 3 mile route follows park paths and some nearby quiet roads; roads are not closed for the event. All races are marshalled. There is no official event timing; participants may use their own fitness tracker or phone app to record times. Prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers in the adult 3 mile race and to the first three boys and girls in the family 1 mile.
Photography and video may be captured and used for YMCA East Surrey promotion; participants who do not wish to appear should contact the event organisers. Family entries may include a running buggy for children aged nine months up to four years; babies in slings are not permitted on the course. The event aims to support fundraising for the YMCA Life Change Fund, which includes a 2026 target to support new supported housing for young people.
