The Boston Santa Run is organised by Trident Sports Events and takes place in the heart of Boston, Lincolnshire. The event welcomes runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities to a festive 5K, with proceeds supporting local charities and community organisations while bringing people together to celebrate the start of the Christmas season.
The route starts and finishes in Boston Marketplace before passing through the town centre, Central Park, Pescod Square and the famous St Botolph's Church, known locally as The Stump. The flat urban course is designed to be enjoyed at any pace, creating an inclusive event where festive spirit is more important than finishing time.
Every participant receives a reusable Santa hat, themed race number, finisher medal, goody bag and a traditional mince pie at the finish. Staged alongside Boston's Christmas Market, the event combines seasonal entertainment, community fundraising and a welcoming atmosphere to create one of Lincolnshire's most distinctive festive running events.
