Event overview

The iconic annual Santa Fun Run returns to Colchester Castle Park. The Santa Fun Run, now in its 15th consecutive year, is the ideal way to kick off your festive season and get fit at the same time, with friends, family and colleagues! You can run, jog or walk the 5km or 3km routes around Colchester’s picture perfect Castle Park. Most of all you’ll be having fun while doing something amazing for your local hospital. We would love for your fundraising to support Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity Fund which supports patients and staff when they need us most. Alternatively you can choose to fundraise for one of our current appeals: Cancer Wellbeing, Children's Appeal, Staff Wellbeing or for the ward or department within our services closest to your heart. Just let us know your preference when you sign up.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
