Lowestoft Santa Dash 2026

The Lowestoft Santa Dash is a festive cross country fun run held at Denes Oval in Lowestoft. The event raises funds for Lowestoft Food Bank and runs alongside a wider Coastal Christmas celebration at Denes Oval with live music, stalls, food vendors, Santa's Grotto, reindeer and family activities.

Distances

  • 2.5K out and back loop starting and finishing at Denes Oval.
  • 5K option by completing the 2.5K loop twice.

The course is an out and back route that includes sections on the beach and surrounding pathways. Each 2.5K loop includes about 1K on the beach; the remainder is on grassy or paved paths. The beach and pathway terrain can be uneven, so suitable footwear is recommended. Children aged 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The route is not suitable for wheelchairs and prams or pushchairs are not permitted. Dogs on leads are allowed. First aid will be available, toilets are at Denes Oval, and water is provided after the dash.

Entry details note that there are no on the day registrations and entries are non refundable. Each entry includes participation in the chosen distance and a complimentary mince pie and hot drink, with vegan, vegetarian and dairy free options. Adult entry fee is £7 and child entry (14 years and under) is £3. Nearby parking, cycle racks and public transport access are listed for attendees. Proceeds support Lowestoft Food Bank and a food donation drop off point will be available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
