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?

To make collecting your sponsorship donations as easy as possible, join our JustGiving campaign page which instantly creates your own linked JustGiving page and saves you the hassle of adding pictures and extra typing!

To get set up, follow these simple steps:

  1. Visit our JustGiving campaign page here
  2. Click the big orange button
  3. Follow JustGiving’s super easy prompts to create your own linked page
  4. Don’t forget to share your JustGiving page on social media too!

And you can even add team members to your linked JustGiving page – perfect if you’ve roped in your
family, friends and colleagues to dash along with you for cash too!
