Watford Santa Dash brings festive celebrations to Cassiobury Park, raising funds for Watford Mencap and its work supporting people with learning disabilities. The event welcomes runners, families and friends to dress up for Christmas and take part in a friendly community fundraiser.
Participants can choose between a 5K run and a shorter 1K fun run, both taking place within the park's green surroundings. The routes provide an accessible introduction to running for newcomers and younger participants, while the 5K gives more experienced runners an opportunity to get active during the festive season. The event is open to all abilities, with a relaxed atmosphere focused on participation.
The Santa Dash brings the local community together for a morning of Christmas themed activity, with fundraising at the heart of the occasion. Entry proceeds support Watford Mencap's programmes and services, helping people with learning disabilities and their families across the Watford area.
