Santa Dash at the Docks!

Sign up

Get ready to spread some festive cheer and support St Catherine’s Hospice at our much-loved Santa Dash. On Sunday 7 December from 9am*, hundreds of supporters will gather to jog, run, or stroll around Preston Docks, and we’d love you to join them!  

Take on 5k (two laps) of the docks, or 10k (four laps) if you’re up for the challenge. Whichever distance you choose, you’ll be creating a ripple effect of feeling good and doing good as part of our Year of the Butterfly 40th anniversary celebrations. 

For a registration fee of £15 (£10 for children), you’ll receive a Santa suit, medal and celebratory hot butty. Or, if you’d like to bring or make your own outfit to reuse again, you can enjoy a £2.50 discount per fee — a simple way to make your dash greener! 

And why not maximise your fundraising by rallying friends, family, colleagues, or neighbours to dash together and raise money for your local hospice?

*Dash starts at 10am
