Santa Fun Run!
6 December 2026
Our Santa Fun Run is making its return on Sunday 6th December 2026, at Arrow Valley Country Park in Redditch. Whether you dash jog or stroll, choose between a 1km, or 5km route which is 2 laps of the lake. You can also complete 1 lap around the lake instead for 2.5km.
You get a FREE santa suit to wear on the day, and when you cross the finish line you’ll be awarded a Santa-themed medal and a sweet treat!

Don’t miss our new features for 2026:
Last year we raised nearly £16,000 but this year we want to go bigger! Because Santa Fun Run is about emphasising the “Fun” in Fundraising. The ticket prices covers our event costs, but the Fundraising is what drives how much we can impact the lives of patients and their families at the Hospice, for the better. Use the Santa Fun Run as an excuse to fundraise from family and friends, a little goes a long way!
In 2026:
Raise £20 to get a set of Santa Wrist Bells to add some jingle to your run
Raise £60 to get 1 of Santa’s Golden Tickets – can you get 12 people to donate £5 each to your fundraising link?
As a reward, each Golden Ticket includes at the event:
Raise £100 to get a Santa’s Golden Ticket and a personalised named Santa Sack!
Last year, 3 fundraisers raised over £400+ each. These people have inspired us to introduce one top tier – the Christmas Tree. Any participant that raises £400 will be recognised with a Christmas Tree outfit to wear on the route instead of a Santa Suit and be invited on stage to recognise their achievements!
So what are you waiting for? Gather your friends, family and sign up so we can welcome you to a morning of festive fun to kickstart the run up to Christmas!
Your Santa suits are available for collection prior to event or can be collected on the day of the event itself.
Dates for collection from Primrose Hospice (St godwalds road, B60 3BW) 9.00am – 4.00pm
Thank you for your support!
Early bird tickets close at 11:59pm on Saturday 7th November
