Come and celebrate the countdown to Christmas at Santas on the Run!, Pilgrims Hospices’ festive family fun run taking place on Sunday 14 December 2025.
Choose from a 3k, 5k, or 10k challenge and dash your way along Herne Bay’s scenic seafront with hundreds of fellow Santas in aid of a good Claus.
You’ll enjoy festive music to get you into the ho, ho holiday spirit as you prepare for your seafront Santa run. Then, you’ll be cheered on and jingled all the way by our Christmas cheer stations!
Santas on the Run! is an event for everyone. So, gather your friends, family, colleagues, or neighbours and step into Christmas with Kent’s biggest Santa run!

Everyone who registers for Santas on the Run! in advance will receive a 5-piece Santa suit, including jacket, trousers, hat, belt, and beard. If you’d rather not receive a Santa suit and wear your own festive costume, simply tell the staff when you check-in at the event that you don’t need one.
Every finishing Santa will also receive a well-deserved medal!
In order for all of our Santas to have a safe and enjoyable event, dogs will not be able to attend Santas on the Run! Thank you for your understanding.
