Brighter Futures Santa v Rudolph Run!

You can support our Charity of the Year, Brighter Futures, with their festive fundraising event...

Get ready to kick off the festive season with one of Swindon’s most popular Christmas events!

Join us on Sunday 6th December 2026 at Lydiard Park, Swindon, for the Santa Vs Rudolph Run 2026. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, an enthusiastic jogger, or simply want to enjoy a festive walk with family and friends, this fun-filled event is open to everyone.

Choose your side, pull on your festive gear and take on either our 3km or 5km route as Team Santa goes head-to-head with Team Rudolph. Fancy dress is encouraged, festive spirit is essential, and fun is guaranteed!

Supporting the Meadows Cancer Appeal
Every step you take will help support the Brighter Futures Meadows Cancer Appeal, funding enhancements that make a difference to patients receiving systemic anti-cancer treatment at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
To help maximise the impact of this event, every participant will automatically receive a personal fundraising page when they register, making it easy to ask friends, family and colleagues for sponsorship. Our suggested fundraising target is £50 per person, but every pound raised will make a real difference.
