Coalville Santa Run 2026

Celebrate the holiday season with a unique running experience that caters to all levels of runners, from seasoned athletes to those just starting out. Whether you're lacing up your shoes for the first time or planning another lap around this beloved route, there's something special waiting at every turn.
The event kicks off in Marlborough Square and winds its way through Snibston Colliery Park before weaving into the Urban Park and Belvoir Shopping Centre, ultimately circling back to where it all began. The course offers a mix of tarmac paths and grassy trails that wind seamlessly through Coalville's vibrant landscapes.
For adults, full costumes are included in the registration fee, while children will receive festive Santa hats as part of their entry package. This event isn't just about running; it’s an opportunity to gather with family, friends, or colleagues for a fun-filled day out.
As this is the fifth installment of what has become a cherished community tradition, participants can expect an enthusiastic atmosphere and plenty of holiday cheer along the way. The route's varied terrain provides both scenic views and exciting challenges, ensuring that runners of all abilities find their stride.
Medals are reserved exclusively for those who register by November 27th, adding another layer of excitement to early sign-ups. With limited parking available on site at Needhams Walk, participants are advised to plan accordingly or use the designated spots near the event location.
Join us in supporting a great cause as well – proceeds from this festive run will benefit Glenfield Breast Centre and Osbourne Building, making every step count towards something truly meaningful. So gather your loved ones, lace up those running shoes (or walking boots), and prepare to make lasting memories at Coalville’s holiday run.
This event welcomes walkers, children, and even dogs, ensuring that everyone can participate in the joy of this community celebration.
