About

What is the Santa Fun Run?

The annual Boston Santa Fun Run sees 500 dressed-up Santa's running through Boston town centre to raise money for Charity in a fun run for everyone. The 2024 event takes place on Sunday 1st December as part of the 3-day-long Boston Christmas Festival.

The Santa Fun Run is also open to those who want to walk - so don't worry if you aren't an avid runner, you can still absolutely take part in this festival experience. The event will host tail walkers who ensure no one is left behind. And remember, it's not a race! It's all about running with your fellow Santa's and making festive memories that you won't forget!

This event also features free photography from Photographer David Dales.

What is the chosen charity for 2024?

This festive fun run is organised exclusively by volunteers and has been raising money for local causes since 2018. The 2024 charity is Lincs and Notts Aitr Ambulance, a charity which relies on donations to save lives.
