The ADS Santa Fun Run is back for its 10th outing on 24th November, supporting local families affected by dementia. And Santa’s grotto will give you a warm welcome at Dorney Lake!
Back for its 10th year, continuing a festive tradition cherished by many local families Santas will step up for a great cause, 10.30am-2pm, on Sunday, 24th November at Eton Dorney Lake.
Dressed head-to-toe in Santa suits, hundreds of participants will walk, jog, push or run 5km around the lake, all while raising vital funds for local people affected by dementia and their carers in the Windsor, Ascot, Maidenhead, Slough and Langley areas.
The ADS Santa Fun Run is more than just a race; it’s a community favourite and the perfect way to kickstart the holiday season: get some exercise in, meet new friends locally, and make a real difference. Your participation helps keep crucial local services going, providing vital support to those who need it most.
What’s in store? Get your free Santa suit with registration (or feel free to rock your own Christmas costume!) – this event is open to all ages and abilities. Even your furry friends are welcome to join in the fun in their seasonal costumes. And don’t miss out on the chance to win in categories like Best Dressed Team, Best Dressed Dog, Best Dressed Family, and Best Dressed Wheels. Plus, fundraise over £50 and you’ll be entered into a prize draw.
The day isn’t just about the 5k – it’s packed with festive activities for the whole family. Enjoy Santa’s Grotto, snap a S-elfie with a giant inflatable Santa, and enjoy games like Hook-a-Duck, and special appearances by Princess Elsa, Spiderman, and a surprise superhero. Warm up with a hot drink from the upstairs café while listening to live Christmassy music and watching the Santas run past around the lake. It’s a festive feast for the senses!
ADS Director of Operations, Nysa Harris, says: “This is our signature annual fundraising event, and we’d love to see as many Santas as possible! It’s all about fun, raising awareness, and getting our local community involved.”
