SANTA DASH

Get ready to bring the festive spirit back to Chester! On Sunday 6th December, one of the city’s most beloved Christmas traditions returns — the Chester Santa Dash.

Once again, the streets will be transformed into a joyful sea of red as hundreds of Santas take to the route to raise vital funds for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd and The Countess Charity.

It’s not a race, and you don’t need to be a runner. You can walk, jog, run, or stroll at your own pace. The real magic comes from being part of a huge crowd of Santas spreading festive spirit through the city centre.

Whether you’re dashing solo, rallying friends, bringing the whole family, or getting your colleagues involved, the Santa Dash is a brilliant way to kick off the festive season.
