The Perth Santa Run 5K is a festive, family friendly event taking participants through the streets of Perth city centre. Open to runners and walkers of different ages and abilities, the event brings the community together for a Christmas themed run finishing on the North Inch, one of Perth's best known green spaces.
The 5K route follows a circuit through the city, combining central streets with a scenic finish in the open parkland beside the River Tay. Participants can run, jog or walk at their own pace, with dogs and prams also welcome. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an enjoyable event for families, friends and those taking part in their first 5K.
Entry includes a Santa suit, except for those choosing the hat only option, along with a goodie bag and finisher's medal. With plenty of festive outfits and a welcoming community atmosphere, the event offers a fun way to enjoy Perth's Christmas celebrations while taking part in a run through the city.
