Linlithgow Charity Santa Dash 2026

The Linlithgow Charity Santa Dash returns for another festive season, inviting runners to join this spirited 3K run on November 28, 2026. Participants will navigate the historic and picturesque Linlithgow High Street, which will be temporarily closed to traffic, ensuring a safe and enjoyable course.
To enhance the holiday spirit, organizers encourage participants to dress in festive attire, ideally as Santa Claus or other seasonal characters. The event promises an engaging atmosphere with runners of all ages coming together for a pre-Christmas celebration. Entry fees are set at £10 per person, with proceeds going directly to support the Baton of Hope and The Donaldson Trust charities after covering race costs.
The race is open to participants aged 5 years old and above, but those between 5 and 11 must be accompanied by an adult for safety reasons. Prizes will be awarded in the form of charitable donations to the top three male and female finishers.
With a limited field size of 350 runners, early registration is recommended as entries close at 5 pm on November 27, 2026, or when capacity is reached. For more information about race day details and entry procedures, visit the event website: https://www.linlithgowathletics.org/10k-race#enter
