Get ready for the Santa Run!

Join the Santa Run!

Posted: 14 September 2012

Feeling inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games? On Sunday 9 December, join 2,000 others dressed in bright red suits to take part in the famous Santa Run. Raise money for Youth Music while getting fit and having fun!

If you're a Londoner looking to get moving, the Santa Run in beautiful Greenwich Park could be the challenge for you. 

Support Youth Music by signing up to be part of the red sea of Santas.

Not only is it a fun way to get fit, but by committing to raising £100 through sponsorship money, you'll help us to continue our vital work transforming the lives of children and young people through music.

To collect donations online, set up your personal fundraising page here.

A fun fundraising challenge

An individual ticket costs just £20 and you’ll get a goodie bag with your very own Santa suit so you can wear it all season long!

No running experience is required, so everyone can get involved in the fun regardless of age or ability. You can choose to walk, jog or run the 5k or 10k routes.
