YMCA Santa Run

Thank you to all Santa Runners who came along on 14 December 2025 to enjoy this festive race! We hope to see you next year on Sunday 13 December 2026!

Santas of all ages and abilities are invited to spread some festive cheer and run or walk 1 or 3 miles to raise money for YMCA East Surrey.

  • 10:30 | Priory Park, Reigate
  • Adults and children (4+)
  • Entry includes free Santa suit* and medal

* If you would prefer not to include a Santa Suit with your booking, you can select not to receive one when registering. As this is a themed run, we do ask that you come dressed in Christmas fancy dress to make sure we keep the festive magic alive!

Just by taking part, you are supporting our charitable work in the community. However, we try to keep our event fees as low as possible. If you are able, please consider further supporting our work by making an additional donation of £10 towards our charitable work by selecting this option when booking.

You may run in the Family 1 Mile with a running buggy (with children over 9 months old). Please keep all dogs on leads during the event, even if spectating.

Please ensure you wear your race number on the front of your suit on the day so we can identify you for photographic permission.

Fundraise for us!

To keep event fees affordable, the entry cost solely covers the expenses of organising this event. Whilst there is no minimum fundraising target for Santa Run participants, we encourage and hope that you will be inspired to raise funds for us.

All money raised from our events goes towards our Life Change Fund set up to help transform young lives in East Surrey.

Set up a JustGiving fundraising page, or if you prefer the more traditional method of fundraising, please download an official sponsorship form.

Read more about our tips on fundraising or speak to a member of our Events team who will be more than happy to help you with ideas.
