Story

The Santa Fun Run is back!

That's right, the 16th consecutive Santa Fun Run will return to Colchester Castle Park.

Everyone is invited to take part on Sunday 30 November 2025. There will be 2.5km and 5km routes which you can run, jog or walk, the choice is yours!

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.

The Santa Fun Run is sure to be the jolliest event you have done this year and will start your festive season off with a Ho Ho Ho!
