Reading Rotary Santa Run

Reading Rotary santa run

Sunday 1st December 2024

The Reading Santa Run returns on the 1st December 2024.

Join us on the University grounds for a '5k' festive Run.
We also have a '2k' course or an option of a shorter distance so that everyone of any age or ability can join in.

Children under the age of 5yrs are welcome to attend the event accompanied by a responsible adult. Under 5s will be able to take part in the 2k run/walk for free... we would like to encourage under 5s to come in their own festive outfits..

A great way to kick off the holiday season, keep fit and raise funds for Rotary chosen local charities, or perhaps get yourself/your team sponsored for a charity chosen by you.

The Reading Santa Run attracts hundreds of runners every December; the routes taking you through the vast and wonderful University grounds and ending in the 'Quad'.

Come and join the fun!

Race packs and Santa Suits can now be collected from 9am on Sunday Dec 1st
