Santa Dash 2026: Make Christmas Count for Families Affected by Cancer
Families and friends are invited to join in with the annual Beatson Cancer Charity's Santa Dash at Glasgow Green on Sunday 6th December. Whether running, jogging, walking or even hopping on your sleigh, participants can enjoy a festive 5K while supporting people affected by cancer.
Every participant will receive a free Santa t-shirt, helping to paint Glasgow red as hundreds of Santas take to the paths of Glasgow Green in support of Beatson Cancer Charity. The event promises festive fun for all ages, with prizes awarded for the best dressed participants. From Jack Frost and Rudolph to Buddy the Elf and other festive favourites, all creative costumes are encouraged.
By taking part, participants will be helping Beatson Cancer Charity continue its vital work supporting patients and families affected by cancer across the west of Scotland.
Entry costs £18 for adults and £6 for children, with under-fives going completely free. It is the perfect opportunity for families and friends to come together, lace up the trainers and make a real difference this Christmas, while creating special festive memories together.
