Get Ready for the 2025 National Santa Dash!
The countdown is on for one of the most joyful events in the School Games calendar - the National Santa Dash, taking place this year on Friday 12 December.
Last year, an incredible 116,499 young people took part. This year, we’re hoping to go even bigger - and we need your help to get schools across the network involved.
The Santa Dash is all about having fun while being active. Schools can choose any distance that works for their pupils and take part at any time during the day. The magic comes from thousands of young people across the country moving together, creating a powerful sense of belonging, community and shared memories.
Let’s help create even more of those memories this year.
How to Take Part
- Record participation using a simple Google form - SGOs can submit area totals or share the form directly with schools to complete
- Access a downloadable certificate for all participating schools once the numbers have been submitted
- Encourage schools to celebrate and connect with others using #SchoolGamesSantaDash on social media.
Your support is key to making this another fantastic nationwide moment. Let’s get even more young people moving, smiling and joining in the festive spirit on 12 December.
