our Santa Run will begin at 7:00 pm the 4km route starting in Paternoster Square just by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral. You will then run along the North bank where there will be fantastic river views, before crossing the Thames via Southwark bridge.

The route will then take you along the Thames path past Shakespeare’s Globe and then heading towards Tate Modern, where you will cross the river once again, this time over the millenium bridge.  You will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the beautifully lit St Paul's Cathedral, before finally returning to Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!

No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4.5km, relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk. Santa in the City is a great way to get you into the festive spirit!

Please note that you will need to collect your Santa Suit on the day from 8.30 am from our collection point, Paternoster Square, City of London.

All walkers or runners between 3yrs - and 18 years are free; they receive a medal but do not receive a Santa suit.

Children aged 3-8 years need to be accompanied by a participating adult at all times. The participating adult can accompany a maximum of three 3-8-year-olds and must have them within arms’ reach throughout the walk or run.

Children aged 9-18 years must have parental permission to take part and have a responsible adult (+18 years) available at the event. The responsible adult does not need to take part in the walk or run.

All children (3-18yrs) must register for a place via the website and have a parent/guardian complete a Child Registration form for them in advance, or they will be refused entry on the day.
