If you’re looking for a winter run to join just before the Christmas period begins – check out London’s LARGEST Santa Run. Every year, thousands of Santa’s come together in London’s Victoria Park to jingle their way around our 5k or 10k route. Each runner receives a FREE Santa suit on the day to ensure everyone gets into the festive mood. With a fancy dress competition, a mini fun-run for children eight years and under, and our event village where you can take some Christmassy snaps or enjoy some tasty treats from our food stalls – this is always the most magical event of the year and is not to be missed!

London To Brighton Bike Ride
Our iconic London to Brighton Bike Ride takes place each September and sees thousands of cyclists of all abilities – from first timers to keen club cyclists – take on the 54-mile challenge. Beginning their adventure in the heart of London, on into Surrey’s country lanes and rolling hills, before crossing the flagged finish line on Brighton’s seafront – it really is a day never to forget. At the halfway point we provide a FREE lunch for all of our cyclists to refuel for the last leg of their cycle, and with roaming mechanics on hand throughout the route, our cyclists are cruising down to the finish line on Brighton seafront in no time!
