Brighter Futures & The Rotary Club of Swindon Phoenix are coming together again for the 2026 edition of the Santa Vs Rudolph Run.

Taking place on Sunday 6 December at Lydiard Park, this year’s event is raising money for the Meadows Cancer Appeal at the Great Western Hospital.
A spokesperson said: "Whether you're Team Santa or Team Rudolph, this fun run offers 5km and 3km routes for all ages and abilities. Participants can walk or run their way around the course."
Adult entry is priced £15, children £5 and under 5s free.
Participants are asked to attempt to raise £50 through sponsorship. 
The spokesperson added: "A fundraising page will be created upon registration which you can share with your friends, family, and colleagues. 
"The Meadows Cancer Appeal will create a dedicated wellbeing space in the Meadows Unit: a calm, welcoming, non-clinical environment where patients and families can access support, information, and companionship.
"The Santa Vs Rudolph Run is a fun way to kick off the Christmas celebrations. All are welcome - there’s an accessible route for wheelchair users and families with buggies, and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join the fun too!"
