Description

 

Santa in the City is the perfect way to get you, your friends, and your family into the London festive spirit!

Your 5km Santa Run will begin in Paternoster Square just by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral. You will run down to the Thames Path and then along the North Embankment, enjoying views of the Globe Theatre, The Shard, and the Millennium Bridge.

Carry on through the City of London, running along the Thames’s hidden paths, towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

Return through the City, via Cannon Street. Take in the views of the beautifully lit St Paul’s Cathedral, before turning into Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!

Every runner is provided with a 5-piece Santa Suit (Hat, beard, jacket, trousers & belt), runner number & medal.

By joining #TeamDEBRA, you can help DEBRA to provide care and support to people living with the painful genetic skin condition, EB, and fund research into future treatments.

We will support you from the moment you sign up through to when you cross the finish line and beyond. Fundraising materials, a DEBRA t-shirt and continued encouragement will all be sent your way as you join #TeamDEBRA.
