Kick off the festive season with the Santa Dash Dublin, returning to St. Anne’s Park in Clontarf on Sunday, 6 December 2026. This family-friendly event offers three distances: a 2.2km fun run/walk, a 5km route, and a 10km challenge for seasoned runners. All courses are chip-timed and set on a flat, scenic route through one of Dublin’s most beautiful parks.

Participants receive a Santa suit and a custom Christmas-themed medal, adding to the festive spirit. After the race, children can visit Santa in his grotto and receive a special gift—no extra cost involved.
