Run with Santa this Christmas in London!
Join The Lily Foundation for the UK’s favourite festive charity fun run
Get ready to kick off the Christmas season in style at Santa in the City – a 4km festive fun run through the heart of London! Perfect for runners, joggers and walkers, and great to do as a group activity, this iconic charity event is your chance to spread some Christmas cheer while supporting families affected by mitochondrial disease.
Choose your race date – Tuesday 2nd, Wednesday 3rd or Thursday 4th December – and enjoy a magical evening dashing past London’s most iconic landmarks. The route starts beside St Paul’s Cathedral in Paternoster Square, winds along the north bank of the Thames and crosses the river, taking in sights like the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe before finishing where you began.
Every entry includes:
- FREE 5-piece Santa suit (hat, beard, jacket, trousers and belt)
- limited-edition finisher’s medal to celebrate your success
- festive fun and an unforgettable night in central London.
Sign up today through our partner, Run for Charity, to secure your place – but hurry, registration closes Tuesday 18th November!
Once you’ve registered, we’ll be in touch to ensure you have everything you need for a splendid seasonal sprint.
Children under 18 can take part for free (a parent or guardian must complete the registration form ahead of the event), however we recommend this race for runners aged 16+.
