All You Want for Christmas is a Santa Dash

The Virtual Santa Dash is a 5K fun run to be done with friends and family/pets or competitively on your own. Take this 5K challenge anytime in November or December 2020. Do it in your running gear alone or dressed as Christmas elves with the family! Earn the offical Santa Dash Medal and goodie bag. Simply register for the event and you will be given access to the Virtual Marathon Series runners portal where you can submit your evidence before or on your run day.

The Virtual Santa Dash has a special challenge attached and requires you to dress up in Christmas fancy dress to complete it. The Virtual Marathon Series are also offering two prizes:

  1. The first one is for the fastest time in Christmas fancy dress, become the Christmas world record holder.
  2. Secondly, to the person who raises the most money for their chosen charity by Christmas Day.

They will donate £250 to the charities chosen by the 2 winners who will receive a goodies pack from their partner Run Through in the post.

All you need to do now is register – here’s how:
