Reading Rotary’s annual Santa Run!

Are you ready to get festive?! Why not join hundreds of others dressed as Santa, get a bit of exercise, and raise funds for important local causes?

What is the Santa Run?

 There’s something for all ages: choose between Reading Rotary’s Santa Run – a festive timed 5k run, or a more gentle 2k untimed mini-run or walk, if you’d rather! Both routes will take you through the vast and beautiful University grounds. Bring the family, or just come with friends and join the festive fun!

All entries should be completed by noon on Friday, 1 December, to enable you to collect your race packs on Saturday, 2 December. More details regarding the collection will be sent via email from the Reading Rotary Club.

Fundraising

We’d love for you to fundraise for us as part of this fun event at a special time of the year. After you have signed up, please let our fundraising team know, and we will help you set up your JustGiving page to share with your friends, family, and colleagues so they can support you with your challenge.

How do we support members of Team Launchpad?

 We will support you every step of the way – we offer tips on how to prepare and lots of fundraising materials, and you’ll get an exclusive Launchpad technical t-shirt and goodies for taking part.

 How will your fundraising help Launchpad?

 Day in, day out, Launchpad helps people, couples and families in Reading who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes – and only with your kind support can we continue this vital work. The cost of living crisis continues to leave homeless people extremely vulnerable, and we already see many more in a housing crisis. Every penny you raise when you take on this challenge helps us prevent homelessness in our town.

How do I sign up?

Then contact our Fundraising team to let us know you’ve signed up, and we will do everything we can to support you!
