This 5K fun run invites participants to don their Santa suits and bring the Christmas spirit to life, all in support of raising essential funds for cancer patients and their families across Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
The Santa Dash welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities to take part in a joyous celebration of the holiday season. Whether you're taking part solo, as a family, or with colleagues, the day promises to be a fun-filled event, all while helping to support those in need.
Participants are encouraged to embrace their festive spirit, with a special prize awarded to the best-dressed Santa. From creative costumes to classic Santa outfits, this is your chance to have some fun and spread festive cheer.
Funds raised from the Glasgow Santa Dash will go directly towards supporting Beatson Cancer Charity’s range of services, from patient care to wellbeing support and ground-breaking cancer research.
