The Santa Fun Run takes place on 6 December 2026 in Pittville Park, starting and finishing around the Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham. Entrants pick between a 1.6K and a 3.2K route and can run, jog or stroll them at whatever pace suits, with dogs on short leads allowed along for the ride. The morning is a community fundraiser organised by Cheltenham Future Rotary Club in aid of Cheltenham Animal Shelter and other charities, and it opens with a group warm-up led by Zigs Exercise. Children who take part receive a medal, a silent auction runs alongside the event, and the whole thing is built as an in-person, family friendly gathering in the park.
