It only costs £18 (+£1.60 handling fee) to enter and that includes your race entry, your Santa suit and your bespoke medal.
The Santa Dash is always great fun and amusing to see. It makes a great photo! Parents bring their children down to watch so we hold a kids 400m race before the main event at 10:20am. It’s free, just turn up and we give them all a medal at the end.
If you would like to run virtually rather than join us on the day, you can! Just enter by 8th December and pick up your suit from the Rockinghorse HQ, 13 Prince Albert St, Brighton, BN1 1HE
The Brighton Santa dash race route is a nice flat out and back run. The course heads west up the Seafront Esplanade for 2.5k. Once you get to Hove Lagoon you turn around and head back to the Start / Finish line.
As well as the portable toilets near the start line there are also four other toilet stop opportunities on the course at 200m,1.5k, 3.5k and 4.5km
There are no changing facilities so we recommend arriving at the event in your sports kit. You'll pick up your suit at the start.
We urge everyone to walk, ride or take public transport to the race veune, but if that's not possible...
There are a number of NCP car parks within walking distance of the course. There are multi store car parks on West Street, Russell Square and Churchill Square. There is also hourly parking on the Kings Road (seafront road) itself.
Brighton train station is situated in the middle of town at the top of Queen's road. From the station the seafront and our Santa dash venue is about a 10 minute (15 minutes if you are carrying a sack of presents) down West Street and along towards Hove. Keep your eyes out for a sea of red hats!

Enter nowRockinghorse is a Brighton-based charity that has been supporting children in Sussex for over 50 years. It was set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann, who recognised there was a real need for additional resources to improve healthcare services for sick children and babies.
Best-known as the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital (the Alex) in Brighton, the charity launched its ‘Sussex Giving for Sussex Children’ 50thanniversary appeal last year. During 2017 they raised £500,000 worth of funding to be split between 10 children’s centres and paediatric services across Sussex. Rockinghorse strives to make these services stimulating, cutting-edge and accessible for the many children, babies and young people who need them by supporting some truly deserving projects.
Rockinghorse does not receive any government funding and relies on the generous support of individuals, community groups, companies and trusts. To find out more, visit www.rockinghorse.org.uk.
We are also encouraging every Santa to try and raise a minimum of £20 for our chosen charity, Rockinghorse, helping children across Sussex.
