Join in the festive fun and sign up to the Santa Run!

Sunday 16th November 2025

Santa Paws & Santa Claus welcome!

The Santa Run kick starts Aberdeen’s annual Christmas parade, giving families the chance to be part of the festive celebrations.

On Sunday 16th November, you’re invited to walk, run, roll or wag your way through the City while raising vital funds for Charlie House. The city centre will see a flurry of Santa Paws and Claus take on a 1km route, starting at Holburn Junction at 5:25pm, along Union Street and finishing outside the Aberdeen Art Gallery, where they will receive a well-deserved medal. Don't forget to join us for an important warm up too!

Open to all abilities, including wheelchair users, participants must be aged 16 or over to register themselves. Those aged 15 and under must be registered and accompanied by an adult throughout the event. And of course, all dogs, sorry Santa Paws, must be accompanied by a participating adult!

*Ticket includes entry fee, 1 x Santa Suit, 1 x Bib Number, 1 x bottle of water at the finish line along with 1 x Charlie House Santa Run medal. Santa Paws will receive a festive bandana and tasty doggy treat.

Any questions? Or simply fancy a chat regarding Charlie House? Do get in touch, we'll be delighted to hear from you and always more than happy to help!
