A flurry of snow will then fill the start line when hundreds of Santa’s pass through.

Please be mindful of the following safety considerations along the route:

• Watch your step for uneven pavement, potholes, and be cautious around kerbs.
• Use the designated crossings where possible and avoid stepping into the road or stopping traffic.
• Remain on pavements or pedestrian paths at all times.
• Be aware of slippery leaves or other seasonal debris, which can increase the risk of slipping.

The route will be clearly marked with arrows and our jolly marshals to guide you.

Please remember to wear appropriate running shoes and take extra care around the route. Children should be supervised at all times.

We kindly ask that families with pushchairs and wheelchair users head to the back of the group as it can be very busy at the start of the fun run. 

We are happy to offer a bag drop area which will be inside Winchester Guildhall in 'The Courtyard' room for the duration of the event. 

Please note: we can only accept one bag per individual/family. You must ensure all your personal belongings are within the bag.

A tag with your runner number will be placed on your bag.You will need the correct runner number to collect your bag. Bags will only be returned to the person with the correct runner number.

Any lost & found items are held for two weeks after the event, during which you can reclaim them; after this period, unclaimed items are donated to charity.

Santa Fun Run is not just an opportunity to enjoy Christmas and stay active; it’s also a chance to make a positive impact on the environment.

By bringing your own water bottle and using local refill stations, you’ll be helping to reduce plastic waste, lower your carbon footprint and promote a more sustainable future.

Lets spread the joy of Christmas and sustainability as you participate in this fun and festive event.

Together we can make a difference one refill at a time.

The nearest water fountain to the finish is by King Alfred’s Statue in Abbey Gardens.

You’ll receive a festive keyring and a yummy mince pie when you cross the finish line.

You can hang your keyring on the Christmas tree or keep it on your keys, they are the perfect memento of the day.

There will be no access for spectators to the finish funnel. They MUST remain outside of the barriers at all times. You won't be able to re-enter the funnel once you have recieved your keyring and mince pie.

Merry Christmas!
