Santa Run - Wales
Santa Run - Wales is a festive fun run held at Dare Valley Country Park in Aberdare on 19 December 2026. The event offers short, family-friendly distances around well maintained park footpaths with views of the surrounding countryside. The route may be adjusted for weather.
Distances
- 2.5 km (1 lap)
- 5.0 km (2 laps)
Every finisher who completes one 2.5 km lap receives a Christmas-themed medal and an opportunity to meet Santa, who will give a small gift. The event features Christmas music, fancy dress prizes, and refreshments including mince pies. Festive dress is encouraged but not compulsory.
Facilities at the venue include toilets and free parking. A bag drop area is provided at the start/finish but it is not a secure storage; valuables should not be left unattended. Runners should bring their own drinks container; water will be available to refill bottles. Bone conducting headphones only are allowed. As the event takes place on public footpaths, participants are asked to be considerate of other path users.
Final race day instructions will be sent by email in the week before the event and number pick up is on the day at race registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
