Event overview
The inaugural Allsorts Tinkley Gate Santa Dash is a cheerful, family-friendly 5km off-road event set in the stunning National Trust Tinkley Gate.
Hosted by Stroud & District Athletic Club in partnership with Allsorts Charity, come and join 250 other Santas to raise funds for Allsorts, a brilliant local charity supporting children and young people with additional needs and their families.
Whether you run, jog, walk, or jingle all the way – everyone is welcome, including festive pooches on leads.
Take on a 5km Santa Dash through scenic trails, or the 2.5km option, which is ideal for younger participants or anyone simply wanting a shorter route.
There will be carol singers at the start and finish to keep spirits high, chip timing for accurate results, a café open afterwards for post-run refreshments and a large "Made in Stroud" medal for every finisher!
