Race round the streets
Have a blast as you dash round our circular route starting in Library Road, Totton and racing up Salisbury Road and Testwood Lane. We’ll get you warmed up and ready at the start line for the race and be there at the end with your medal.
You can choose between our family friendly 2.5km dash our our longer 5km race for serious Santa’s, with a head start of the pack. This route is ideal for all, whether you’re a running pro who want to race round, or a family looking for a gentle jog to get your started on a Sunday morning. Plus all ages are welcome – we’ve even seen buggies taking part!
Relax at our fayre
Running not for you? Need a moment to catch your breath? We’ve got you covered.
Once again, our Christmas Fayre is being held at the finish line to shop, enjoy the music and win prizes from our raffle and competitions. Plus you’ll be supporting a range of local stall holders and your local Scout group giving young people skills for life. It all kicks off as the race does and finishes around lunch time.
Our Christmas Fayre starts at 9.30am and runs until 12.30pm at the Three Score Club, Library Road, Totton, SO40 3RS.

Tickets go on sale on 1st September 2026.
How do I collect my suits?
Once you have registered and paid, you will receive a confirmation email with some final details for you. You will need your email to collect your Santa suit and race number in the weeks preceding the run, so it is essential you do not lose or delete the email.
We will be running a number of opportunities to collect your race pack ahead of the event for our runners local to Totton. You can pick it up from:
- ASDA Totton: Saturday 5th December, 10am-3pm.
- 5th Testwood Scout HQ, Blackwater Drive, Calmore: Monday 7th – Friday 11th December, 6pm-11pm
- 5th Testwood Scout HQ, Blackwater Drive, Calmore: Saturday 12th December, 10am-4pm
What size are the Santa suits?
There are three sizes of suits, which you can request when completing the registration form. The adult suits are ‘one size fits all’, but by picking them up in advance you will have time to customise.
There are two sizes of junior suits, one suitable for 4-7 years, and the other 8-11 years. These ages are just a guide and not an exact measurement.
There are no suits for the under 3s, mainly because they just won’t fit. However, they will still receive a medal upon crossing the finish line and they still need to be included in the registration.
