Santa Dash at the Docks - St Catherine's Hospice

Santa Dash at the Docks

Spread some festive cheer and support St Catherine’s Hospice at our much-loved Santa Dash family fun run on Sunday 6 December. 

Every year, hundreds of supporters 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 (both are approximate). 

Whichever distance you choose, you’ll be creating a ripple effect of feeling good and doing good.

Registration is now open! Take advantage of our Early Bird pricing for a limited time only. 

Sign up by 31st October to pay just £15 for adults and £10 for children, which includes your Santa suit, metal and hot butty at the end. 

Once you have signed up, we will send you an event programme which includes our Just Giving campaign page and ideas to help with your fundraising. Remember to get your friends and family to support you with sponsorship and cheering you on at the event – they won’t want to miss the spectacle of hundreds of Santas running around Preston Docks. 

From 1st November, registration fee will be £17.50 for adults and £12.50 for children. 

This event is proudly sponsored by Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors, for four years running.
