Santa Dash and Festive Fun Run is a family friendly Christmas running event at Lingwood Village Hall in Norfolk. Featuring a 5K Santa Dash and a shorter 2K Festive Fun Run, the event brings together runners of different ages and abilities while raising funds for Mini Donks, a charity supporting wellbeing through miniature donkeys.
The 5K follows surrounding trail footpaths, providing an accessible festive running challenge for participants aged 11 and over. The 2K takes place within the village hall grounds, making it a suitable option for families and younger children. An additional 400m Inflatable Fancy Dress Dash adds a lighthearted challenge for anyone wearing an inflatable costume.
All participants receive a medal, with festive fancy dress adding to the friendly atmosphere. Miniature donkeys make a special visit, while the Hug a Mug café provides homemade cakes, snacks and refreshments, creating a sociable celebration that supports a local charitable cause.
