Santas on the Run is a fun 2k run, walk, or jog at either the Eden Project in Cornwall and Charlton Farm in North Somerset or alternatively you can choose to create your own route and take part virtually in our Facebook Challenge. This year we will not be providing Santa suits but we are letting you decide if you want to twinkle in tinsel, rock it like Rudolph or sleigh it like Santa - dress up in your festive gear and complete a challenge of your choice all whilst raising seasonal smiles for children and families that are supported by our three hospices.

Yes please!   

For the Eden Project and North Somerset events, we ask you register yourself and the members of your group so you'll receive all the support and information you need.  We will not be accepting on the day registrations. Please sign up for the location and wave time you would like to attend.

If you still have not received either your confirmation email or welcome information email, please contact our event fundraisers:  

If you sign up over the weekend, please note you won't receive your welcome information email until the Monday morning.  

If you're attending one of our events in person you will receive a medal at the finish line.  

If you’re participating in the facebook Challenge and raise £50 or more, a medal will be sent to you in the post. 

Your registration fee only covers the cost of the event and your sponsorship is supporting our vital care for the children and families that attend our hospices. Sponsorship targets are £25 per person and £60 per family

Alternatively, you can make a donation of the suggested sponsorship of £25. Please make your donation via our online donation page marking it as your Santas on the Run donation.    

Eden Project

We will be sending out your runner number, fundraising pack, sponsor form and coin collection card from mid October onwards. You are welcome to download any of these fundraising tools prior to this by visiting the 'how to fundraise' tab on the Santas on the Run Eden webpage.

Charlton Farm

We'll be sending your fundraising pack and runner number out in the post at the beginning of November. Your fundraising pack will also be available to download, and includes a sponsor form, coin collection card and gingerbread house collection box. You can download this by visiting the 'how to fundraise' tab on the Santas on the Run North Somerset webpage.  

Of course!

Please call the following numbers to get you up and running: 

No. You can choose to walk, jog or run! You can also choose whichever distance you decide is best for your family. Historically this event has been 2k.

You can decide to compete your run where you feel it will be most fun!  You can complete it around your own home or whilst out on your daily exercise or a devised special route - it is freestyle in your way!  

No you don't.  We'll take your word for it. However, if you want to show your supporters you have completed your chosen distance, we recommend you download Strava and link this to your Just Giving page or social media.  This can also help increase your fundraising.   

If you can't complete your run on these dates, you're welcome to do it either the week before or even the week after the 11 December. Let us know when you've completed it. For your photos to be included in the virtual competitions they must be added by the evening of Sunday 12 December. 

Just add your photos or videos to the Facebook Group over the weekend - it's that simple. We'll announce the winners in the week following the event and let you know your prizes! 

You need to join the Santas on the Run Facebook Group! 

If you want to warm up, please watch one of our pre-recorded festive warm ups – there will be links in the Facebook Group over the weekend and you'll be able to find them on our website.

When you get back from your run there will also be a special story being read by our resident elf that you and your children can watch by clicking on the link on the event page.

There are lots of ways to pay in your sponsorship.  

Please bring with you your coin collection and gingerbread coin collection houses on the day to hand in at registration. Please make sure you write your names on these so that we know who the money has come from, and we can allocate it to your fundraising total. 

We recommend you don't send in cash through the post.  Please remove your coins from your coin collection and then donate for them on our online donation page along with any other sponsorship you've collected.  

You can send your sponsor forms and coin collection card along with a cheque to one of our three hospices:  

  • CHSW, Little Harbour, Porthpean Road, Porthpean, St Austell, Cornwall, Pl26 6AZ  
  • CHSW, Little Bridge House, Redlands Road, Fremington, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 2PZ  
  • CHSW, Charlton Farm, Charlton Drive, Wraxall, North Somerset, BS48 1PE  

You can also add any offline sponsorship to your online Just Giving page that you may have set up. You can bank the money you have collected and then make a payment on your own donation page. All money raised on an online giving page automatically is sent through to us - you don’t have to do a thing! 

Setting up a Facebook Fundraiser for the Facebook Challenge is the best way to raise sponsorship for your challenge  - all money raised on your Fundraiser will be transferred directly to us. 

No problem.  Please contact your event fundraiser.
