The Trinity Leeds Santa Dash is a festive 5K fun run organised by Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, starting at Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre. The route takes participants through the streets of Leeds city centre, bringing together families, friends and community groups for a colourful Christmas running event.
The 5K route welcomes people of all ages and abilities, with participants able to run, jog, walk or wheel their way through the city at their own pace. Prams are also welcome, making the Santa Dash accessible to families with young children. The city centre setting and hundreds of participants dressed as Santa create a lively atmosphere along the route.
Participants receive a Santa suit, except for children under three, along with a commemorative finisher medal and festive chocolate treat. The event attracts groups of friends, families and colleagues, with the shared Christmas atmosphere making it a sociable way to take part in a seasonal running event in Leeds.
