Join the 5k Santa Dash

Get ready to put on your Santa suit and dash through the beautiful grounds of Towneley Park – all to support Pendleside Hospice! Bring your friends, family, and festive spirit for a 5km sponsored circular run.

Event Details

The 5km Parkrun route will be clearly marked and marshalled, so you can enjoy the event at your own pace.

Everyone is welcome, whatever your age or fitness level. Please allow between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours to complete the route.

Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and suitable footwear, and bring water to keep hydrated before, during and after the event.

Four-legged friends are welcome too! Please keep dogs on a lead, under control and remember to clean up after them.

There will be refreshments available to purchase, along with Pendleside Hospice Christmas cards and calendars, so you can get a head start on your festive shopping while supporting your local Hospice.

And, of course, no festive event would be complete without a little Christmas magic! Keep an eye out for two very special festive guests who have close ties to Pendleside Hospice.
