Santa's 5K Sleighs of Fire Race takes place on West Sands Beach in St Andrews, bringing runners together for a festive seaside event. Organised by Anster Haddies Running Club, the race combines Christmas celebrations with fundraising for local charities, including Craws Nest Trust and East Neuk Round Table.
The 5K course runs entirely on sand, creating a different challenge from a traditional road race. Open to runners aged 12 and over, the event welcomes participants of different abilities, with the sandy surface and potentially cold, windy December conditions adding to the coastal running experience.
Every runner receives a Santa hat, with additional Christmas fancy dress encouraged to add colour to the beach. The friendly atmosphere, scenic St Andrews coastline and charitable focus make this a distinctive festive running event for the local community.
