Overview

Staines Rotary stages a festive 3.5 km Santa Fun Run along Staines High Street on Sunday 22 November 2026. Participants set off in Santa suits supplied with their entry, and the flat, accessible course through the town centre welcomes families, pushchairs, wheelchairs and festive dogs on leads. Everyone aged five and over receives a Santa suit, hat, beard and race number, and all who cross the finish line collect a Santa Fun Run medal. The run is timed to finish before the town Christmas Parade so entrants can stay in their Santa attire for the parade. Entry fees are set by age and group, and participants are invited to raise funds for their chosen charities using an organiser sponsorship form.
