Santa Run in Wales

Santarun Wales

When & Where The Santarun Wales usually takes place in the town of Newtown in Wales around the last week of November or the first week in December.

What to Expect About 5000 people jogging 7.2kms in Santa suits. Each year the santas try to set a new record and better the previous years attempt- but don't think this isn't a legitimate long distance run as some participants have ran done the Santarun Wales course in less then 19 minutes.


Getting there Book a flight into any UK airport here then take a bus here or book a train in the UK here.

History of the Welsh Santa-Run

History

This was originally conceived and performed in 2001 local charity "Dial A Ride" who charge £10 for registration (which closes the week before) and each participant must raise £20 in sponsorship: it's all for a good cause.
