Santa Fun Run

KEMP’s Santa Fun Run returns Sunday 7th December 2025! Register your place today!

KEMP’S SANTA FUN RUN RETURNS SUNDAY 7th DECEMBER 2025!

Our biggest event of the year is making its return — and this time, we’re starting the fun in a brand-new location!

While the route remains largely the same as our recent Santa Fun Runs, we’re excited to announce a new starting point that brings even more space, energy, and festive cheer to the day. Whether you’re a seasoned Santa Runner or joining us for the first time, this year’s event is going to be bigger and better with the promise of all the same joy, Christmas spirit, and community spirit as before.

Join the sea of Santas and help us spread Christmas cheer while raising funds to support patients, families and carers who are living with life-limiting illness and bereavement across the Wyre Forest.

We can’t wait for a sea of Santa’s and festive fun outfits to take over Wolverley Memorial Hall!

Choose from the timed 10k route, the 5k run, or the 1k Kids Santa Dash.

Our new location, Wolverley Memorial Hall, has a large indoor space with a café open to purchase hot drinks and refreshments. There will also be a few stalls, including KEMP Retail and a craft stall for kids.

Dicky Dodd will be merrily providing festive tunes and compering the event from his fabulous soundstage and we are excited to have Bewdley Bootcamp returning, who will be bringing the high-energy warm-up to all the runners!

The course is on a mix of terrain with some sections on tow paths and some on pavements. The course itself is a very picturesque course with a great atmosphere!
