Santa Dash 2026

A festive charity fun run in Santa hats around Helensburgh, with a 4km route and a shorter option for younger dashers.

The Helensburgh Santa Dash returns on 28 November 2026, running from Colquhoun Square over a route of approximately 4km, with Santa's Secret Short Cut halving the distance for younger or less ambitious dashers. Entrants receive a Santa hat and wristband, with a medal and goodie bag at the finish line. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and all profits go to local causes supporting vulnerable people and families at Christmas.
