Search For Santa is a unique self-navigation trail run held on Wednesday 16 December 2026. Starting from The Compasses Inn in Littley Green, participants follow a written route description through the Essex countryside at night, with no course markings or marshals. Runners must locate a secret destination, solve a cryptic clue to gain time bonuses, and enjoy a refreshment stop while searching for Santas along the way. With prizes for quirky dress and behaviour, this fun-filled event is more about enjoyment than fast times.
