The Great Thatcham Santa Fun Run 2026

This is our 14th charity Santa Fun Run and this year we are raising money for Local Charities including Home Start, West Berkshire.
Mass start at 11:00 a.m.
It is a fun run, and not a race, open to all ages and abilities. The full course is a 5km (approx.) route around Thatcham streets and Thatcham Lakes starting and finishing in Thatcham Broadway.  It is part of the Thatcham's Christmas Warm up Weekend. Come and run as much as you can.
There is a short course for young runners (anyone 12 & under must be accompanied by an adult) and wheelchair users.
Every runner receives:

1. 
   
   1. a Santa outfit and 
   2. a running number, 
   3. and on completing the course is presented a medal by the Mayor of Thatcham. 

This event is kindly being sponsored by SAICA Pack UK.

Come, run with your family and friends or enter a team, get sponsorship and raise money for your own local club or cause.
