Chester Santa Dash is kindly sponsored by MBNA and Urenco ❤️
Get ready to bring the festive spirit back to Chester! On Sunday 6th December, one of the city’s most beloved Christmas traditions returns — the Chester Santa Dash. Once again, the streets will be transformed into a joyful sea of red as hundreds of Santas take to the route to raise vital funds for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd and The Countess Charity.
It’s not a race, and you don’t need to be a runner. You can walk, jog, run, or stroll at your own pace. The real magic comes from being part of a huge crowd of Santas spreading festive spirit through the city centre.
Whether you’re dashing solo, rallying friends, bringing the whole family, or getting your colleagues involved, the Santa Dash is a brilliant way to kick off the festive season.
Adults & children (5+) – £14, includes Santa suit + medal
Children under 5 – £5, includes finisher’s medal (no suit)
All under 16s must be accompanied by a paying adult
Route is 3.75km
All participants aged 5+ will receive a Santa suit and a festive finisher’s medal to celebrate your achievement. Suit collection details will be shared closer to the day.
Sign up today and be part of Chester’s magical festive dash 🎅🏻
