News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

The Dorothy House Santa and Elf Run is back on Sunday 5 December at Bath Spa University!  Last year, the hospice was unable to host this amazing event, so this year the team are doubling their efforts! It plans to be an unforgettable, fun and festive event for the whole family, all while raising vital care here in our community.

This Christmas-tastic family fun run is open to all ages and takes place along a 2.5km course through the beautiful grounds of Bath Spa University, via scenic footpaths, a ‘castle’, a lake and even a garden temple! Participants can choose to do the 2.5km route once or twice to make it a 5km run.

The entry fee is £7.50 for children aged 2-11 (who’ll receive a free elf hat to add to their own elftastic outfit) and £15 for participants aged 12+ (who’ll receive an amazing ho, ho, ho Santa hat, beard, jacket and trousers). There is no entry charge for Santa’s little helpers aged under two. 

Friends and family are very welcome to come and cheer on the Santa and Elf Run along the route as the runners pass through the grounds of Bath Spa University. Refreshments will be available for supporters to buy from the jolly Refectory.

The event starts at 11am and will finish around 1pm.
